I agree with Steve about being rigorous with the PT, Cecily. Six months sounds like a long time, even for a full replacement. I had a double replacement in 2010. I was on the stationary, mostly for range of motion, a few minutes at a time, after, I think, a couple of weeks. I was on my road bike after six or seven weeks (but I didn't tell my significant other until well after the fact!) I think, unless there are other issues, that six months is too conservative. But I am definitely not a doctor and I'm not you either. And, although I was only 49 and would like to have waited longer before getting the replacements, it was the best thing I could have done. I've been pain free ever since, and because I did good PT work, I have more range of motion than I had for the 20-25 years prior to the replacements. Good luck Cecily!
