When Cassie began opting to take the elevator over the stairs at work, she knew that she couldn’t ignore the sharp reminder of how much her knee pain had started interfering with her daily life. What used to be minor discomfort had turned into a constant obstacle, making even the simplest tasks feel like challenges. Her doctor confirmed what she had feared: her knee joint was severely worn out due to osteoarthritis. Cassie started exploring treatment options and soon realized that a total knee replacement might be her best path forward. Though she was apprehensive at first, the thought of getting back to the things that she loved motivated her to take the leap.

Cassie often reflects on how the total knee replacement changed her life, turning what felt like an insurmountable challenge into an opportunity. She is living proof that the procedure was not just about relieving her pain-but also getting back to activities she enjoys.
