Ok, who all have either had a knee, hip or both replacement surgery and......

[Boudica the Lyoness]

13. I had my ankle replaced 8 years ago.

It's considered experimental by some insurance companies because it is more difficult than hip or knee.

My ankle was crushed by a horse in 1985 and had become bone on bone and locked in place. The pain was very bad and I was going to have amputation because I consider 'fusing your foot to your leg surgery' barbaric.

I finally was cleared for replacement and it worked like a treat. I had to have my achilles tendon lengthened so I could once again move my ankle.

It took two yeas for the joint to get as good as it was going to get. It was a very long recovery, but well worth it. I have full range of motion and can do anything but run. I think I could though if a tiger was chasing me. Or a lion. I can also still kick arse.
