Life After Knee Replacement: How This Patient Got Back on His Feet
“I've had pain for a long time, a lot of years. I just endured it and kept going.
…but it got so bad that I literally got to the point where I couldn't do my job, I couldn't go camping, I couldn't go hiking, I couldn't do a lot of the things that I used to do because, simply, I just couldn't walk.”
“The minute I met Dr. Couch, he struck me as this individual who cares and who's going to do whatever it takes to make it right for you.
Dr. Couch, of course, wanted me to get some X-rays done, and he could see that my knee was bone on bone, and that was causing all my problems. He was very thorough in checking everything. He explained everything in detail to me, what they're going to do, how it's going to happen.
He started talking to me, and I got more and more confident in doing this, and I'm glad I did.
My recovery was hardly anything. I mean, within days, I was walking a half a mile.
I'm just grateful that people like Dr. Couch are here, the techniques, the continuing education on this subject, and that they can now help people live a productive life again.”
“It is, without a question, the best decision I've made for me, for my family, and it made me feel good, made me feel useful again.
And so with that, I got out there, started new companies, got staff. So with this new knee, I can keep up and keep up with the business and make it grow.”
