Great explanation Dr. Hutchinson, why do you suggest spinal anesthesia over the other methods? I was just told by my doctor that I need to have both knees be replaced, I am very anxious over the thought of major surgery. I’m researching the procedure, I have not decided what I a. Going to do. Thank you

3:50, that looks better than mine was before surgery. I had NO space between the medial and inner part of my knee and only some in the lateral. And I’m only 55. My other knee is the same. 6 months out now and I still have a warm and numb touch and atrophied quads. That’s how bad it was! Yet I skied on those knees for years.

How is it now? I'm 55 as well, going in when the pain gets to bad.

@@hoopsnake007 it’s better than last month. Keeps getting better. Everybody is different, but being completely healed from TKR in 6 months is very rare. It’s more like 9 months to a year.
