“I’m playing golf again.”

Catherine’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement? 
Before having both of my knees replaced, I had pain all the time when I moved. Going up and down stairs and kneeling were painful. I couldn’t play golf or tennis or go distance walking. 

What was the turning point for you?
I decided to move forward with surgery when my pain level was so high, I had to take a lot of medications to function each day.

What is life like now?
I can distance walk again. I usually walk 10 to 12 miles a day between my job and leisure walking. I'm playing golf again, but the new knees have not helped my golf score.
