Cycling after knee replacement

[slowwww]

My knees have been a bit of a challenge for a while due to wear and tear from a very active/reckless life and an inherited pre-disposition to arthritis. My consultant has now told me that there's little more that he can do for me and that knee replacements look inevitable.

Has anyone on here had a replacement, and if so how are they finding cycling afterwards?

Good luck with it. Keep us informed, I can' t be too far off!

The link does not relate to a knee replacement. I was told by a consultant there wouldn't be a problem with cycling after a knee replacement. My operation was cancelled because I restarted cycling and built muscle around the knee. "Come back in 3 years" was his actual statement
