They tell me to relax, yea right! That was the worst part of the procedure. I’m home now with minimal pain trying to do the exercises they showed me and I’m walking around with a walker. I’m lucky that my wife is taking really good care of me.

My dad (84) had his replaced around 5 weeks ago, and had exactly the same issues post operation. It is amazing how routine the operation has become, and he was mobile again in no time. He is already up and going as if nothing had ever been done to him, and the difference it has made to his mobility, levels of pain and basic enjoyment of life is absolutely amazing!
Best of luck in getting healed up soon!
