3 months out from sx and I'm feeling better every day. Physical therapy is the key.

Had a total jaw replacement. AFter almost two years, still have nerve pain, but I can at least open my mouth now.
Working / Worked
double knee replacement I would recommend both at once. If you plan on going to a rehab (after at least 4 days in hosp. ) visit the rehab and set up your rehab schedule from day one. I did not rec. rehab till the third day (in the rehab) and left on the fourth and was not happy. But my doctor gave me 5 exercises to do lying in bed and that's all and I was fine. Four years later and if I didn't have psoriatic arth. in my ankles and top of my feet I wouldn't even know I had surgery.
