As a very active 43-year-old mom of 3 boys with a full time career, I have little time for myself. Getting my knees done was overwhelming because I just did not have the time, but was suffering greatly. Having issues walking lead to needing assistance going up and down stairs, giving up running and skiing with the boys, and even needing help make dinner because the pain and swelling were so bad. I met Dr. Parks and after looking at my x-rays he saw the severity of my condition. We made a deal that he would do both knees at the same time and I would go to inpatient rehab then be the model PT patient. Well 6.5 weeks later I have my life back and attended Easter pain-free and in heels I have not worn in 3 years! My family was stunned when they saw me come down the stairs!
