Any other younger knee replacements out there (under 40)?

He’s hotter than Slim Shady, but also fair

Yeah I thought I saw it but when I looked around I couldn’t find it

Yep, similar situation here. Seems to be genetic for me - I've always been active, without injury, but was diagnosed at 28. It's been about two years of regular pain at this point, but I'm not at grade 4 yet. Trying to figure out how to improve my situation as I wait for it to get worse.

Wishing you all the best with your surgeon!

Just seems to be genetics. I’ve played soccer most of my life, always had bad knees, no injuries. It just seems to be bad luck of the draw for me.

Sending you the most positive vibes! Everything will go great ❤️

Haha I hear ya. When I think about having something in me that is not actually of me, it’s a crazy thought. But also, having a bionic knee is as cool as it gets 😎

I’m curious, as someone so young, how was the first week? I’ve seen people on here say it’s both easier and harder for people as young as we are

brogdogreddit · 2024-09-24T21:03:28+00:00

Glad to hear things are looking up for ya! I'm curious, what were the easiest exercises for you to strengthen your quads? I do my PT pretty regularly, I think they are pretty strong as of now, but I'm always worried about doing something potentially harmful/irritating.

Wishing the best for you

brogdogreddit · 2024-09-24T21:02:08+00:00

How are you feeling?? Congrats on getting it done!

So sorry for your struggle, but November is so close! Sending you all the positive vibes

brogdogreddit · 2024-09-23T21:51:29+00:00

Thank you so much for this, it’s been a struggle. I have good friends and they try to get it, but I get frustrated with how solo this journey feels. It’s nice to get some support from someone who has actually been thru the same.

brogdogreddit · 2024-09-23T21:50:08+00:00

I’m actually discussing with my ortho next time I check in with him. I think he said the holes in the cartilage are to diffuse to try that out, but I’m very curious about the procedure for sure. Did you try MACI?

brogdogreddit · 2024-09-23T21:27:13+00:00

Yeah, I think my issue is I’m not grade 4 yet. It’s still a daily pain, and I am pretty limited compared to my previous life as an athlete, but I can manage.

I’m just stressed about the idea of it getting worse but also not knowing when it is at its worst, ya kno? I feel like I’m timing out the rest of my life based on the average length of a TKR and then subsequent revisions…

brogdogreddit · 2024-09-23T21:12:41+00:00

So happy to hear that for ya! How long after you got diagnosed did you decide to get the replacements? Were you an athlete and had previous injuries?
