In this episode of the Bee’s Knees podcast, we have a special guest, Mindy, who recently underwent knee replacement surgery. She shares her experience of living with knee pain for several years and trying various treatments before deciding on surgery. Despite her apprehension about her age, Mindy chose knee replacement and discusses the challenges she faced during her recovery, including swelling and difficulty achieving flexion.

Mindy also discovered the X10 machine, an alternative to manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) that provided a more gentle and accessible form of physical therapy. Mindy emphasizes the importance of finding a solution that works for each individual’s unique circumstances and highlights the convenience and precision of the X10 machine.

We discuss the importance of emotional well-being during recovery and how the X10 machine helped Mindy find a sense of relief and improvement within days. The ability to track progress and have support from both the X10 coach and her physician was greatly appreciated. Mindy continues to manage swelling through elevation and icing. As a nurse, she found the X10 to be a valuable tool and would consider doing physical therapy beforehand to strengthen her muscles in the future.

If your feelings of depression and low energy tend to peak in the winter, you may think you are suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), but it could also be something else.

The type of anesthesia used during a surgical procedure will depend on a number of factors, but primarily the nature of the procedure and your medical history. Beyond this, you may be offered a choice of options, and those who anticipate being anxious during the procedure may wish to opt for a greater level of sedation.
