I'm trying to decide whether to get a TKR or put up with another painful season first. I decided to get a replacement at the end of last season. It has taken 3 months to see the surgeon and now it's taking another month or 2 before being able to have surgery. I'm not even on the schedule yet and it's nearly fall now. I don't relish the thought of skiing another season like last... my right quad was smaller than my left by the end of the season. I'm doing exercises now to strengthen things. I can't stand the thought of missing the season altogether.
Question for you all.... did you need new foot beds/ boots before skiing again? I would think I would since my alignment will be corrected. My leg has been getting a valgus angle to it over the years.. I had a lateral tibial plateau fracture years ago.
I know everybody is different but how long did it take you to feel like you could ski again after surgery? I'm prepared to take a sabbatical from teaching... but not from skiing.
