“I toured Europe for 27 days.”

Aubrey’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
Before surgery, every step was painful. Only after taking over-the-counter pain medications could I endure golfing and walking. In addition, I had to stop snow skiing.

What was the turning point for you?
One day, my knee made a loud pop while I was pushing my left shoe off with my right foot, and it was very painful. That’s when I knew I needed surgery. 

What is life like now?
I’m 75 years old, and since surgery, I have not experienced pain in my knee. I did my rehab to strengthen the area, used a walker for a few days and a cane for a few more days. I returned to golf in less than three weeks. Two months after surgery, my wife and I toured Europe for 27 days, and I still had no pain. I returned to snow skiing in March without a problem.
