David’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
Life before joint replacement consisted of restricted range of motion in my legs and arms, with lots of pain when in motion and limited walking.

What was the turning point for you?
I knew moving forward with surgery was necessary when I began taking narcotics for pain management.

How has joint replacement changed your life?
After my joint replacement, the aches and pain from the grinding of bones are completely gone. I’m walking, dancing, bicycling, swimming and standing for long periods of time without discomfort.
