In Tassie on the phone. Posting not the best at the moment. Sorry for your loss cookie. Not sure if its a recent one but condolences anyway. I was a long,high ,triple jumper as a youngster. As a result of that abuse I required a knee replacement at 55
I was in constant discomforting . even jogging was painful. Recovery from the tkr took about 12 months. After  that I was able to sprint and jump quite well. No pain. Take off feels good on that  leg. The only problem is with  landing and taking off from the leg in the triple jump so that's off the agenda. Totally against doctors orders but so far so good.

Curious, what was the actual injury that meant a replacement was required?

I've had knee pain for about 8 years. Kept tearing the meniscus and athritis. The pain continually got worse. I've had 3 arthroscopes on the bad knee as well as a tibial osteotomy as well as 2 athroscopes on my "good"knee. The tibial osteotomy was more of a delaying op.
I'm hoping the sore hip is a result of my altered walking action although I doubt it. I'll see if that settles down over the next 6 months and hopefully the left knee doesn't worsen

Hope it works out well for you C4E. I know from observation what you are going through.

If our lot ever needed motivation not to waste their opportunities this must surely be it.
