Before surgery, and the pain that resulted in my getting surgery, I used to run about 12 road races a year and train by running close to 15 miles a week. I have received mixed messages about my ability to continue to run / jog when my surgery and rehab is complete. Anyone have any comments or experiences they would like to share? Thanks!

That would depend on what your Orthopedic surgeon recommends,for your "new" knee.That also would depend on the "type" of implant he's given you,and what caused the joint replacement in the first place.Take care. SW RNP

You rock! The best advice you could get is from your surgeon and rehab physiologist though. I think the decision is an individual one, but you're obviously in GREAT shape and you have that in your favor.

Well I had my hip replaced twice, and both times I was told not to do anything that causes "Impact" to the joint.
This was told to me by both orthopedic surgeons, So before you do anything along "impact" lines, ask your orthopedic surgeon, just phone him up, leave the question with his nurse, , someone will get back to you.

Sit in a place where you see persons of your age jogging.
Talk to them and take their advice.( they should have undergone knee joint replacement )
