“I have no more pain.”

Monica’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement? 
Life before the total joint replacement was rough. I always had pain in my knee, and it wasn’t getting any better. Walking became very hard for me. 

What was the turning point for you?
My turning point was when I had to use a scooter to get around. I’m only 50 years old, so it was hard to rent one. I couldn’t accept this as my way of life.

What is life like now?
Life is a lot better. I have no more pain, other than the normal stiffness and the pain caused by physical therapy.

What advice do you have for others considering joint replacement?
Joint replacement surgery changed my life for the better.
