Dina generously shares her recent experience with a total knee replacement in this episode. So often you are not given the full details on the surgery and what is required in the recovery. No one likes surprises after a big surgery so it’s important to get clarity, especially after a knee replacement. In this episode we discuss:


  1. Important questions to ask your surgeon or doctor before the surgery
  2. Surprises she experienced along the way
  3. The most limiting symptom she had that she was never told about
  4. How long her recovery took
  5. How the surgery impacted those around her 
  6. Important considerations prior to making the decision for yourself
