Agreed, i just spoke to my mother yesterday and shes struggling. It keep tightening up on her no matter what she does.

One of the challenges she face was have a massive heart attack which resulted in a quadruple bypass 3 months after her 2nd knee replacment. She was recovering from that which in turn impacted her knee recovery.

Moral if the story, its a long long road, the.better you prep and the more you use it, the better you will.be in he long run. If you have a problem with pain or someone who doesnt exercise or like to atleast walk alot your will not be happy with your results. This is coming from family and friend experience.
