Stories - I decided to have my knee replaced when:

I decided to have my surgery when the pain was so bad and I could hardly go up the stairs. I never went anywhere because of the pain. So I decided to have it done. It wasn't easy but I could walk up the stairs the first day home. I worked through it and worked hard doing the exercises. I have no knee pain.
I now can walk miles without realizing it. On two vacations I logged a lot of miles. I am only 7 months but can not believe I waited so long to have it done. I have to have my other one done and will not wait as long. Remember to go day by day. You can do it!
