Is surgery always the answer if the same knee can still race?

[00:00:00]I want to tell you about my friend Eric.

[00:00:02]Eric was a 41-year-old surgeon and he was in serious trouble with his knee.

[00:00:06]And the recommendations from that surgeon were to get a total knee replacement. At 41, Eric didn't think he had any other option. I asked him to try something before surgery. He looked at me like I had lost my mind. I've tried rest, I've tried ibuprofen. There's no way water walking is going to help me. I just said, "Just 6 weeks. Give me that."

[00:00:23]6 weeks later, found me at church again.

[00:00:25]Said, "I don't know what happened."

[00:00:27]Says, "I feel great." Eric didn't just postpone his knee replacement.

[00:00:30]it for 10 years. He returned to work without pain. He got his life back.

[00:00:34]There's a guy who could barely make it through his morning at work and now he was racing competitively.
