[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1801555, member: 16303"] Had read where exercise is supposed to be good for helping the knees, but it didn't help. I was bone on bone. Knee was hurting terrible. Had a shot put in which was supposed to last 3 months. Saw an ad on TV for stem cell therapy for knees. They had a free consultation so went to check it out. They xrayed my knee and told me that their therapy wouldn't work for me that I would need a knee replacement. My knee was so bad they didn't even think they could get 40% improvement. Went back for the second shot and ask the doctor how long we had to wait to do surgery, he said 10 weeks. I told him lets get it scheduled. I got a new knee for my granddaughters birthday. getting my knee replacement was the best thing I have ever done. The walker kept getting in the way so I quit using it after the 5th day. The only issue i had was about the second week I started to have some scar tissue trying to develop. I worked thru that and everything has been fine. I bought a Teeter machine and I really like it, it has been easy on the knees but is good exercise. Because I had the Teeter, I was able to do a lot of therapy at home and it was a month before I went to physical therapy. Had my knee replacement in November of 2021. I still don't get on my knee but just a few months after surgery I was up and down on ladders. The surgeon that I had was really good. When he went out to tell the wife that everything went great, then everyone around her said that he was the one that had either done their surgery or someone in their family. The nurse i had in recovery said that she didn't know what my surgeon does different, but she said that it seems like his patients healed quicker that patients of some of the other surgeons. I was 65 at the time of my surgery, and like I mentioned, the best thing I have done. Wonder why I waited so long! The most important thing, DO THE THERAPY! [/QUOTE]
