Interestingly enough, got a text today stating my doctor ordered me a medical exercise bike and they will contact me this week to schedule delivery.

Didn't know that was a thing.

I had the ROM-Tech bike. Bluetooth’s info back to your physician.

I'm 44 and with the amount of noise my knees make when I walk I'm sure a replacement is in my future.

p t is useful to build up muscle around the knee joint. It may contribute to bone on bone wear following loss of cartilage. Bone on bone wear is not reversible

Every single person I know who has had a TKR, which I would estimate at about 10-12 people, has said it changed their life for the better, that they should have done it sooner, etc etc.

I’m not looking forward to the post surgical pain, but I’m ready for a more enjoyable existence.

One of the big moments for me was when I made a full revolution on the bike. Once I got past that I really started making progress.

All depends on how much pain you're in before surgery and how long you've suffered with the knee.

Had my replacement done 8 years ago. went really well. After the first 2-3 days I started weaning myself off the painkillers. Never used a walker but used a cane the first week just as a backup. I went upstairs/downstairs as I have a two story home.

The first thing I would do is find out who the local orthopaedic surgeons use for their personal knee replacements. That's the one you want to use.
