My Comeback Story: Gary B.

From my first visit to the clinic, I felt comfortable and at ease about my knee options. Dr. Bradford Waddell was very clear about all of the possible options. We started with steroid shots for several months, then coupled that with gel shots, then progressed to surgery. 

I felt very prepared and was looking forward to no popping, clicking, or buckling. The surgery went as planned, and I was pleased with the process and the hospital care. I scheduled rehab to start 3 days after surgery at Baylor Scott and White in Plano. I can’t stress enough how critical the rehab is! As Dr. Bradford Waddell told me, the first 3 months after surgery will determine the rest of your life. So, put in the work and follow your therapist’s plan. 

I was able to complete 16 visits and successfully complete my goals. My range of motion and strength tests were great. I rang the bell and felt great. However, it's important to remember that there is still much work to do on your own after you're released. Stay vigilant, and you will see steady progress. 

Notes: Monitor your prescriptions and how they affect your body functions. Sleep, bowel movements and other side effects may appear. Talk to the office and they will be there to help. Good luck and if you make this replacement decision – you are in good hands with Dr. Bradford Waddell and Carrell Clinic!
