[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 86261, member: 1436"] Janet, I too am facing knee replacement in the near future. I had artho done on both this summer---8 weeks apart---and am now finally able to walk pain free for the first time in several years. I have spend three days a week in rehab since late June---I feel like a regular there. My ortho says that I will most likely have to have replacement done in the next three years. There have been a lot of improvements in the surgery in the last few years. Rehab is not the hard. Most PT's will not push you past the point of pain. Just make sure you find someone you are comfortable with. And start riding a stationary bike NOW. Build the quad muscle as much as you can. After my second surgery, my right quad went dormant. It was hard to bring it back! [/QUOTE]
