“I exercise five days a week.”

Roderick’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement? 
A lot of my activities were affected. It was hard to walk, exercise and do a lot of normal everyday things.

What was the turning point for you?
When the pain got so bad it was difficult to walk without a great deal of discomfort, I knew it was time to have the surgery.

What is life like now?
I can do everything I did before my knee surgery. I exercise five days a week at the YMCA, mow the yard, go camping and go shopping with my wife.

What advice do you have for others considering joint replacement?
I wish I had not procrastinated. My advice is to consult a knee replacement surgeon and learn about your options.
