At my job I do A LOT of walking behind a lawn mower
and I'm doing this for just about 8 hours a day ...

Good Grief!

Do they mow an entire golf course / counrty club with only WALK-Behind mowers?


Haven't they heard of (and invested in) RIDING Mowers????

Surely you must have enough Seniority to be able to bid onto a Rider job!

I suggested to you several times that you should be talking either to your Boss or
a senior Official of the club - to secure a more suitable, age and health appropriate job!
Have you ever tried to do that?

David, I don't know how much wear and tear these knees can take but I don't think they can take a great deal of stress. I have bad arthritis too so I sometimes assume that the real parts around the prosthesis are riddled with that.

Thanks for the tip on the glucosamine, Staci. I stopped taking it but I'll start again. I'll try anything.

Are you icing after work, David? I love my cryo cuff. It's the best thing ever. A bag of frozen peas will work as well. I'll keep those prayers and thoughts coming.

I'm an orthopedic nurse and my specialty is hip/knee replacements. I think a trip to your ortho guy is definately advisable. If it's getting stiff he maybe able to do some light manipulation, you also want to make sure your not developing an infection (even after four years it can still happen though not super common).

If it is time for a revision (fingers crossed that it's not) ask about different types of artificial joints. There are different options out there for young active people vs more sedentary older adults.

Hey David!!!

Do you ever return to the Threads you start to READ the Replies you get?

Since you last posted on this thread (that YOU started), FOUR Pet Talkers
have replied and posted FIVE suggestions for things you could try.

If you won't read the replies and offer some acknowledgment of them,
it seems like a waste of our time to reply when you post.

Please, let's HEAR from you!

What's that called when you do something over & over expecting a
different outcome?


I read the article on ceramic joint implants too. Something about joints beginning
to squeak after a little wear.
