“I feel like I can do anything I want to do.”

Mary’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
Before I had joint replacement surgery, my quality of life was affected. I had to wear a support brace on my knee and was limited in regard to my activities. 

What was the turning point for you?
I knew I wanted to have my knee replaced when I realized I was tired of wearing a brace and tired of the limited lifestyle that came with it. 

What is life like now? How has joint replacement changed your life?
Since having knee replacement surgery, I feel like I can do anything I want to do. 

What advice do you have for others considering joint replacement?
If you know joint replacement surgery is in your future, do not wait to speak with you doctor about the options.
