Title: Total Knee Replacement
Post by: MXLord327 on May 25, 2011, 06:19:48 AM

Has anyone here had a total knee replacement and continue riding?  I just went to one of the best orthopedic doctors in the northeast, and it looks like I only have about 5 years left on my right knee before I will need a total replacement due to osteoarthritis.  I am having a scope done on it in a month to fix a torn meniscus, but it looks like there is not a lot of meniscus left.  I'm only 44 which is young for a TKR, but I don't want to give up things like running and riding.  Anyone with any experience?  Thanks, Russ

Some Cons, but mainly Pro's. One pro being with a 85 year old who couldn't walk with out a walker, and after both knee replacements she mows her own lawn...lol There is a guy on here that rides with both knees being replaced.
