Agree---therapy is the key. Painful at the beginning but worth it.When I had my left knee replaced in 2011, the surgeon kept my natural knee cap in place. Six months later I was in more pain than before the replacement. The doctor retired right after my surgery. So, I had to have a "revision" done which is basically just another replacement. They got it right the second time.
Did you follow the medication plan to stay ahead of the pain? I was a little hesitant about the narcotics but decided the doctor knew better than me, so I took the medicine as prescribed. Glad I did. The replacement I had in January has gone really well. I am back on the golf course and my last therapy session is April 4th.
Of all the people I know who have had replacement surgery the only ones who have had serious difficulty were the ones who did not finish therapy. They also did little or no work at home.
