| Oct. 30, 2023 JDSmith67 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Surgery & playing after Dqmtv - I feel your pain. I've had surgery on both shoulders and both knees. Rotator cuff surgery was a tough rehab. It took several months to get back playing. Hang in there...you hit small milestones of improvement and then it starts to improve more rapidly. I'm at the point of needing a knee replacement in the future due to thin inner meniscus. Had two high level ortho doctors exam and give me advice. Both said once you replace a knee it will wear out at some point. Sports involving running speeds up the wear process tremendously and a person can be back in the knee pain business in a matter of a few years. They both said to put off the replacement as long as possible. Not that the knee won't feel great after replacement but concern over wear due to running. I'm sure there are exceptions to this and some will say they had a replacement X years ago and it's still great. I can't speak from first hand knowledge...just what the two doctors told me. Good luck and hit the diamond soon. Jeff |
