I live alone. Is the stairs a or will I be ok. I have to go down sides ways now because of my knees. And going up I am slow as it is. Will I cause problems for myself? MotherLove

I have stairs in my house and it was never an issue. I came home with no restrictions on stair climbing. You will be surprised how quickly stairs become easier after surgery.

Mother Love, I live in a ranch house. For the first couple weeks, until I could drive, I went up & down my basement stairs a couple times a day for exercise. It was too cold to walk outside. I took my time and the first couple days I waited at the bottom to catch my breath. My knees were terrible before surgery too. Now I go up pretty quickly and easily just for the heck of it. You shouldn't have too many problems with steps. Just take your time. ((HUGS)) Elissa
