I turned 50, and decided it was time. I'm 3 weeks in, and things are getting better, but damn, the first few weeks are brutal. I had no idea you were so old and decrepit... Anyway, no, but I’m familiar with the recovery. As you said, first few weeks are an arse kicker, but you’re past that now. It’ll be 6 months before most people are back to some sort of “normal” (less for you most likely as you’re young for a TKR). After a year you’re “good as new”. It’s a helluva process, but I’ve yet to hear of anyone who wasn’t glad they did it after a few months. Hang in there and really focus on the PT, you really do get out of it what you put into it, so push yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in '15, I was having issues with my knee and got it looked at. The guy said it was nothing serious, just arthritis. The way it looked, he said he would give me about 15-20 years when ill need a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I'm older than him, but I've still got all of my joints. But my sciatic nerve is absolutely killing me at the moment. For the record, I still have not posted a photograph of myself on the FF forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruceb Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 59 minutes ago, Bucketheadsdad said: But my sciatic nerve is absolutely killing me at the moment. I have had nerve damage that caused massive muscle atrophy in my left leg and lesser atrophy in my right (18 years apart). The leg left suffered an industrial accident (2" stainless steel bar jammed into my left gluteus maximus); not completely sure what caused the damage to the right but strongly suspect it was pressure I was putting on right due to an awful desk chair I sat on for years. In both cases, the only thing I found that helped was walking with weights. It took me over 2 years to rebuild the muscle mass in the left leg walking into, through and up the hills out of Rocky River Valley with 40 lbs. of weights in a backpack. Working on steps with weights on the right leg for now until I build up enough strength/muscle mass to go back to the Valley. Can't say for sure either problem was sciatic. Doing lots of stairs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pain from the arthritis was manageable, but I have 2 younger sons that I'm trying to keep up with. I did the surgery now, because I figured it was inevitable, and I knew I could handle the rehab.

Just so she feels like she had a small part in it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Also, consider holding off on any surgeries you can put off until the wife is ‘recovered.’ She won’t like waiting on you hand and foot when she just pushed a child out of her last part. I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
