knee replacedment anyone?

[ironclaw]

I'm waiting on a knee replacement surgery in a couple of months. I'm wanting to know if there is anyone out there who has had this surgery (I"m talking bodybuilders now, not some 70 yr. old man with arthritis), and what kindof recovery you went through. Did your strenght come back to normal,I just want to know if I'm going to get back to normal leg workouts with heavy squats, leg presses, lunges, deadlifts, etc, thanks for any input guys,

you will be out for a while with a total knee replacement. may never be able to do heavy squats again. maybe...

have you checked into the new minimally invasive knee replacement? it is not for everyone, and you have to make sure you get a surgeon that has done a lot of them. but it is a lot shorter recovery than a total tradittional knee replacement. like i said, its not for everyone
