— WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin recently went under the knife but is on his way to recovery. Posting on Instagram, Austin shared that he underwent total left knee replacement 7 weeks ago and that his recovery is on schedule without any complications but that the entire rehab will take close to a year. That would seem to rule him out of any major physicality at WrestleMania 41.
How it was. And how it is…
I am 7 weeks post op on a Total Knee Replacement. My left knee was on its last leg, and I have been putting this surgery off for years.
Post op X-Rays show everything is healing nicely.
Many thanks to Dr. Nicholas Dirig, Derek Bobst, and their excellent team for my surgery.
Thanks to Bill Wall of Physical Therapy Specialist for getting me back on track.
Before starting PT, I came out of the gate aggressive and started walking way too soon and too far and really pissed off my new knee. Total Knee Replacement is a year long healing process, so I dont know what the hell I was thinking.
Swelling is still an issue, but things are healing up nicely and getting solid.
I am back in the gym and training. Nothing heavy yet. And no squats…
