Had a total knee replacement 9 years ago now (hard to believe), and it is so much better! I had had 6 knee operations, and there was nothing left per the surgeon. Should have done it earlier. The first 3 weeks are "rough", but it is worth it eventually. Hang in there! Hope you get better quickly!

Just tell me its all worth it

It will be, here’s the line we all in the doc/ortho world say to our patients that is inferred above.

The first couple of weeks to a month post op you’ll be saying “why did I do it!”, and then thereafter you’ll be saying “why did I wait so long!”

Hang in there marsh, you’ll be on the other side of this before you know it.

I guess we'll see.

I had no idea Fran did a year at HVCC as a cornerback out of HS in 2002 before transferring via LOI to Western Carolina U in 2003.

Sounds like Fran had to get his grades in order as well...

That's where I graduated, I grew up around the corner from there as well.

My Grandfather was the Bursar at HVCC in the 50's and 60's and I also had other that family worked there. My nephews went to La Salle next door for HS and took college courses their during their highschool senior years as well. It's the biggest CC in upstate NY.

It is. Give it two weeks and it goes from unbearable to barely tolerable. Another two weeks and you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

It had to be”due” with academics? That’s not a typical swap of spellings like there/their or whose / who’s. That’s some real original work .

This thread's awesome. Come for KJE, stay for the high school rivalries and knee replacement surgeries.

heres a couple of other unsolicited helpful hints for those dealing with creaky knees....

walk down stairs sideways to backwards holding on to the railing for support as it'll take a tremendous amount of pressure off the knees/less painful as result, etc., and...

don't become reliant on OTC NSAIDS like advil, etc., short term use only for days not weeks or months because while they're helping with the pain believe it or not they make the problem/arthritis worse! I know crazy…..but true

Association of long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with knee osteoarthritis: a prospective multi-cohort study over 4-to-5 years - Scientific Reports

This study examines the long-term impact of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the progression of symptoms and structural deterioration of the joint in knee osteoarthritis. The study analyzes data from 4197 participants (8394 knees) across the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI)...

Well, this story seems to have some interesting legs... knee replacements aside.
