But don't fear the knee replacement too much when the time comes, I have several friends who have had TKR and none regret it. They do all offer the same advice: Never wimp out on the the therapy.<br /><br />In the mean time, get out there and ride!<br /> Doug Klassenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120274946344780566noreply@blogger.com
