‘Walking has always helped’

Don Lane: ‘I’ve had arthritis for over 10 years and walking has allowed me to put off having a knee replacement for a decade. It helped keep the joint moving and the muscle supportive. Now I’ve finally had the replacement, walking has formed part of my rehab and getting out has made me realise a new knee has been a step forward, not back. The walking is already less painful than it was pre-op.’
