Willie’s Story

What was life like before joint replacement?
My knee pain affected every aspect of my life — work, home and social. 

What was the turning point for you?
I knew I needed joint replacement surgery when I had to cut my work hours and my social life was void.

What is life like now?
There is no pain. I was doing well after three weeks and returned to work after five weeks.

What advice do you have for others considering joint replacement?
My wife was my rehab coach. She encouraged me to push myself during rehab so I could get back to living my life sooner.
