Kenneth’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
I was in complete agony prior to surgery. I could barely walk and even sitting hurt. I tried to walk and golf but did so with severe pain.

What was the turning point for you?
My turning point was when I went snowboarding with my sons, and they talked me into going ice skating. Big mistake. After that I was in extreme pain.

What is life like now?
After joint replacement surgery, I went on a European vacation with my wife, where we walked up to 10 miles per day. I can now walk 18 holes of golf with no problem. It has been a true life changer.

What advice would you give others considering joint replacement?
Don’t put off seeing your doctor. It is well worth it.
