William’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
Before I had my joint replaced, I could hardly walk. I was in pain.

What was the turning point for you?
When it got to the point I couldn’t walk without pain or the use of my cane, I knew I needed to have joint replacement surgery. 

What is life like now? How has joint replacement changed your life?
Since I’ve had my joint replaced, I can walk again, and I am riding my mountain bike again. Life has returned to normal.

What advice do you have for others considering joint replacement?
Do as much rehab as possible. When your life changes to the point you’re just sitting around and not wanting to do anything because of the pain, it’s time to talk to your doctor and fix the problem.
