And anytime you want to do a knee for brain trade, just DM me. I recently got diagnosed with arthritis and have been trying to clean up the excess sugar and bad food hope it works for me to.

Take stool softeners three times a day. Or you will get very uncomfortable around day 5. Sent from my iPad using JetNation.com mobile app Also…post-op…take pain meds and stay ahead of your pain…I have an uncle who had his right knee done ~18mos ago; he doesn’t like taking pills and figured he could just macho through post-op and rehab…his rehab as a result was less than successful and he had to have a second procedure to replace his already replaced knee two weeks ago… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Willie White Shoes Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I had my left knee replaced 8 years ago. I had my right knee replaced 2 years ago. I spent last week hiking in Acadia. It is truly life changing. Good luck. Please PM me if you want/ need any advice/tips/recommendations/war stories/commiserating. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossing fingers. It should. Remember, have to avoid refined carbohydrates. No pasta, rice, breads etc. I even avoid potatoes and other natural foods that are high in carbs. 90 percent of the pain I once had is gone. This also worked wonders for my overall health as well. I was once prediabetic. No more. I also took up intermittent fasting, but you can do your own research and speak to your doctor about that. I will never go back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I just finished reading Clarence Clemons' book from maybe 2008 and he wrote about getting his knees replaced a few months before the Super Bowl performance and he was a hurting unit. I hope you're doing alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengeek Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 How long do they keep you in the hospital after surgery?I aced my first physical therapy at 9 am and if I do as well at 1:30pm, I come home today. The surgeon said thay was a real mess in there and I should expect a huge improvement down the road as compared to before the surgery.

I hope you're doing alrightI’m doing quite well. I don’t imagine that I will EVER put NFL-level stress on my knees (I’m overweight but still not as big as most NFL players). So I can imagine Clemons was in agony, but I expect to be OK in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
