My Comeback Story: Kym P.

I saw Dr. Orr in July 2024 after having an MRI and determining the best procedure was total knee replacement. I had surgery in September, and I know God placed me in the hands of the best surgeon! I was told I would walk out of the surgery center that afternoon (which I thought was unbelievable) and start physical therapy within 3 days after surgery. My mind was blown! I will not say everything was roses because there is a day that you feel like you're dying, but the next day things get better, and then you start physical therapy, and every day is progress.

I used the physical therapy at OrthoAlabama and have nothing but great things to say about the staff there. My best advice is to go in with a positive attitude and know you can do whatever they suggest. I stopped using the walker in about a week. I had a cane after that, but I didn't handle the cane well. Dr. Orr also had a bike brought to my home (insurance must OK this), which helped with progress as well. I started taking the stairs up to physical therapy and down when I left. I graduated a little early and was quite proud of myself for that. It's been almost a year, and I walk perfectly normal. I have even started doing some yoga, which requires getting on my knees. I truly thought that would NEVER happen!

My experience with OrthoAlabama has always been great! I chose the place and have seen some of the very best doctors!
