Nancy’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
Before joint replacement, I couldn’t walk much, traveling was limited, and I had difficulty playing with my grandchildren.

What was the turning point for you?
I knew I needed to move ahead with surgery because my walking was so limited.

What is life like now?
After surgery, I'm so much more active.

What advice do you have for others considering joint replacement?
While recovering, I did all the rehab and exercises faithfully.
