I am 59 and had my surgery 6 weeks ago. I still have swelling ,pain and stiffness. I know this is normal and would like to hear from someone who is months ahead of where I am now . Even if it is just to give me hope.Im not sure where most of you live but my surgery was done in Vancouver B.C . I have a physical job and wonder how many months it will take to recover to the point of working an 8hr day with no pain? I am in no hurry to go back to work but at this point in my recovery I am a little frustrated.
I still cant drive so I am house bound which doesnt help. I guess I am asking for some info on what to look forward to in the months to come.
Thanks JennView Thread

Take the Poll





























Given the past problems with this type of Zimmer implant ( recalled in early 2015 ) why would surgeons continue to use these??? I was told before my surgery "You'll be good as new" and now I have to force myself to be active knowing that I will encounter the pain and especially pay for it even more later. Anyone else experiencing this same thing??View Thread
