“It used to be that I planned my life around my knee pain. Stairs were my enemy and I avoided the movies or anywhere I had to sit for long periods of time. Now, that I’ve had knee surgery, I can enjoy life's simple pleasures again.

The procedure has made a 110% difference in my life. Now, I wake up every day feeling like I won the lottery. I have no pain and can go to the cinema or sit for a long dinner without feeling stiffness when I get up. I can even go dancing!

My knee replacement feels so natural. It’s perfect and you would never know I had the surgery except for the small scar. The surgery was really worth it and I wish I had done it sooner. They called me ‘Superwoman’ at the Joint Solutions Center because I was walking up and down the hallways as the day after my surgery. I spent just two weeks on a walker and it’s been smooth sailing ever since then.”
