I had bi-lateral (both) half knees back in 2002; better than new.  Had a full left back 2012, even better!  No problem kickstarting left side kick CR480.  I need a full right done soon; once they are all done I will cancel my health insurance  :-)

How long did it take to recover from your full new knee?

Hard to remember, had so much different stuff done, walking without limp in 2 weeks, riding in 4 weeks. Probably depends how toned & in shape before the op?

Just get it done Ken, no matter how long the recovery is. Mine for the new hips was quick (6 weeks) & 18 months on they just keep getting better. I'm back to full strength/power & feel like I'm 20 again. You'll be kicking yourself for waiting.
