Buddy had one installed last fall. He could barely walk up and down the stairs to get to his moored boat and had to have someone carry his fish up if he caught any.

About a month and a half after the replacement he could get up the stairs with his fish but still wasn't 100%. He said he wasn't getting the best therapy at first so he switched to a water/pool based regimen and it was lots better.

Good luck Brewer,

ps. I would recommend micros for the recovery period instead the mass production stuff.
