In 2023, I tore my meniscus and was told I could either have surgery to clean it out or get a partial knee replacement. I decided to hold off and for nearly two years, I pushed through the pain, working every day and icing my knee after every shift.
By early 2025, I’d had enough. I met with Dr. D'Agostini and decided to go forward the partial knee replacement. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
In just two and a half weeks, I was back to work. By week three, I was riding 10 miles outside on my bike. And by week fourteen, I honestly forgot I’d even had surgery.
No pain at work. No pain exercising. No pain walking. I feel like a new man — proof that sometimes, taking the leap and taking care of yourself is the best investment you can make.
