Peggy’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
Before knee replacement, I had a constant grinding pain. It was painful sleeping at night.

How has joint replacement changed your life?
Now it feels great. I just finished an 82 mile back-packing trip with a 41-pound backpack. After completing the hike, I volunteered with the Forest Service to remove trees across the trail. We sawed 61 trees by hand with a crosscut saw and pushed them off the trail.

What advice would you give others considering joint replacement?
Don’t wait. I can’t believe how easy it was to be pain free.
