I'm 39 years old and staring at the prospect of a total knee replacement for my right knee in the very near future.
My doctor advised that I could have the surgery whenever I wanted. My medical team (2 different surgeons, physical therapist) have all agreed that this is a matter of pain tolerance at this point.
For those who have had a total knee replacement - what impact has this had on your overall fitness?
Are you able to squat and deadlift? Does the knee replacement hinder any weight lifting activities?
I've been told that running will become a thing of the past once I have the knee replacement. I just started doing 5Ks in the last year or so. I did my first 5k trail run on Saturda
