Had my left knee replaced Tuesday> It is sore but I am getting around on it pretty good.I have developed tendonitius in my foot it is more painful than the knee. Don't know if spelling it right.

I am looking at this a couple years down the road. You are making feel much better about it.

I had mine done 5 years ago, and have been so happy with the results!!!

I have 3 suggestions for you. Stay ahead of the pain -- take your pain meds. Use your ice packs several times a day. And, do your physical therapy faithfully. You'll do great!

Hugs and blessings.
