Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Just learned I will need total knee replacement surgery for both knees "sooner than later" as the doc said. If any of you out there have gone through this surgery, I'll appreciate hearing about your experience. In particular, how long did it take you to get back to work, and back into the pool? How long before your knee(s) were pain free while swimming (and turning!)? Are you happy you had the surgery? Did you experience any problems with blood loss? How long did you go to physical therapy? Anything else I should know before signing up for this? :confused: Thanks!

  • orca1946 - I think I'm well past "rehab." I consider myself fully recovered from the knee replacement, and am so happy I had it done. Sorry to hear you have had 5 hip surgeries - you must have been a water polo player! I hope your 5th one was the last. :applaud:
