She suffered with debilitating arthritis in her knees for 15 years. After I was diagnosed when I was 40, the disease just continued to worsen. I started using a cane 10 years ago and was in a wheelchair earlier this year. I was initially advised not to have the knee replacement until I was 65 because the knee wouldn't last long enough and I'd have to have another replacement. But the new material in the JOURNEY allowed me to have the replacement now, without the added worry about my new knee wearing out. Dr. Collins replaced Duhon's right knee with a JOURNEY knee in April and the left in June. She returned to work after three weeks for the first surgery and after just two for the second. I was very careful and followed all the instructions for physical therapy and return to activity. It definitely paid off, she says. I work and manage a medical clinic. I'm on my feet most of the day. I can't tell you how great it feels to be able to do the things I need to do again. In fact, I feel so good, I have a tendency to overdo things now!
