    Had my Rt. knee replaced in 2012 and my Lt ankle replace in 2016. My mobility has improved quite a bit. Still don't run, that's why God made guns, but I can pack moose again (at least smaller packs). My hunting partner told the doc to put in the 20 year old marathon runner model ankle. Jim

    Some people have a lot more pain than others. I don't like taking pain meds either and got off as soon as I could but remember, there are no hero points given for being in pain. The docs told me that being pain could even inhibit recovery because I wouldn't move around as much as I should.

    Get your next knee scheduled ASAP. You will find none of the orthopedic surgeons work during the holidays. They all like to take off and go skiing so they can burn some of that money on food and lift tickets.
