Seven months after a total knee replacement, Tammy stood at the starting line of the Greater St. Louis Half Marathon, ready to prove she could still do what she loved. Before her knee replacement, Tammy was clear about one thing – she wanted to keep running.

“If I couldn’t run afterward, I would have put the surgery off until I couldn’t walk anymore,” she said. Andrew Schneider, MD, understood how important that goal was to her and was determined to help her achieve it.

For the year after knee replacement, Tammy approached races cautiously, simply finishing without pain or swelling, including a full marathon one year after her surgery. Now, she knows her knee can handle the distance, and she plans to push herself harder. “I wanted to prove I could finish a half marathon and even a full without pain,” she said. “Now I’m ready to see what I can really do.”
