After many years ago of losing my ACL and and deteriorating remaining meniscus looks like a total knee replacement will be in the works before too long. I've researched the doctors and read what I can but I want to hear from actual recipients of a TKR.
Its been good since 1986 when I first injured my knee but going down hill fast in the last couple of months. I can climb stairs but can't go down with out using the hand rail. Not in any real pain but do have to watch my step.
So, if you had one done how is your mobility now? I don't expect 100% but would like to play and chase after my grandsons when they come over, 1 and 3 years old, they move fast and turn on a dime.
How about kneeling or getting in a good cross leg sitting position for shooting? Walking down stairs and so on? Do you walk with a limp (afraid of one leg being shorter than the other). Appreciate any first hand experience or if a family member had one done. Thanks for looking.
