You Don’t Have to Live With Knee Pain

NextTribe is proud to partner with DePuy Synthes^® and ATTUNE^®Knee to show those with osteoarthritis knee pain the possibilities for living a healthy and active life again. The three-part series will follow three knee replacement recipients, and discuss the different stages of the patient journey.

Part One:

Through her 40s, Renee Yahara was able to do fewer and fewer of her favorite activities due to her osteoarthritis knee pain. Finally, after talking with her surgeon, she got both knees replaced with the ATTUNE^â Knee System, and at 52, nothing holds her back, not even a Polar Bear Plunge!

NextTribe is a travel and events company for women 45+. We believe that now—at midlife—is our shaken-Etch-A-Sketch moment, when the slate is once again blank. Today, our conversations question which direction we are headed in and how to get there. How to drink it all in and how to give back. We’d like your voices and humor to be heard, your ideas to be shared, and for you to hear ours. This tribe is one of contemplation, inspiration, wit, and action. Though we may have men in our lives, we believe it’s invigorating to touch base at a time like this with people who have the same sagging parts and swinging moods. Now that we have more time for adventure, more experience for new life paths, more wisdom to connect the dots in our histories, and less care about what people think, we’re sure these coming years can be a glorious stretch. Spiritual and irreverent, creative and courageous, this site, these postings, will serve as our cave drawings and warrior paint. Please join us on our walkabout.
