Just for a little perspective. The other day I saw a guy riding a chopper that had his leg amputated below the knee. He had a peg leg below that. I watched as he pulled up to a stop sign and he was steady as a rock. Made me take a little inventory of myself.

I hope you get back in the saddle soon.

Good luck man - I need a double TKR but screw it I am just going to ride. Well at least until I cannot walk any more and I have no choice but to have the procedure done.

Do listen to your doctor when it comes to therapy. I was 43 yrs old when i had my tkr but 6 weeks was cause i worked hard. My knee was locked up and wouldn't bend so i had no other choice but have the surgery. I knew since I was 18 yrs old that day was coming. Don't push it. Let your doctor decide when you are ready to ride.

At some point I will need to do my right knee. But I will try duck tape, bailing wire or whatever to push out that day. I have a number of friends that have had knee replacements and from their experiences, I will postpone as long as I can.

Hang in there and good luck! I'm looking at the same thing sooner rather than later. Good to read that so many have had replacement surgery and are riding again.
