I could have got it in 2 weeks, but I am waiting until there is no chance of ice and snow in April. Scared to death of this. I am just mentally not ready yet.
Speak to @Alligatorob ... he had a double knee replacement a few months ago.. he'll help with advice..
@hollydolly is right. I had knee replacement surgery done on both knees October 3, so I at about 3 1/2 months now.
Was hoping they showed which exercises & explain them.
Energy. Just like it sounds.
Can you be more specific?
I buy these little one-shot bottles of an energy drink called 5-hour. They are mostly vitamins B12 and B6, niacin, Taurine, and a little bit of caffeine. You can get it with no caffeine, and they also have sugar-free, and they work just as well but I prefer the one with everything.
Does that much caffeine ever affect you badly, @Murrmurr ? I can't even deal with a second cup of coffee any longer without climbing walls. When my daughter was a baby who didn't agree that sleep was necessary, I was taking... oh pooh, what were they called? Vivarin? Yes... and it really messed me up after a while. Maybe that's why I can't take much of it now. (Edited to say that I just looked at WalMart and Vivarin is still on the market! Who knew!)
Oh, a little bit of caffeine? I must be thinking of another product then... there are some of these shots that are extremely high in caffeine mg.
I don't drink coffee. And yes, "a little caffeine." It's last on the ingredients list.
My BP is always perfect, if not slightly low, and cardiac issues can occur if you drink 10 shots within an hour, like this uni student did several years ago, but otherwise, they aren't dangerous. ...Drink responsibly.
Could you tell me more about that heated cream, @Teacher Terry ?
I did the steroid injections, worked for just a few days. My Doc was skeptical that the gel would do me any good. It will put you out of the fishing business for a while, but the kind of freshwater fishing you do, and just having one knee done, not too long. And after a few months, maybe sooner, your pain will be much less than it is now. I passed that point at about 1 1/2 months.
Lots of information on that on the internet. Below is just one youtube video. I just made sure I kept up knee work at the gym, squats, leg press, leg extension, hamstring exercises, etc. More vigorous stuff than on the video. Strengthening your quads is particularly important. The surgery causes a lot of atrophy in your strength, going in strong really helps with recovery.
