Milton resident finds relief from knee arthritis pain with surgery at Ascension Sacred Heart

Ray, a resident of Milton, FL, struggled for years with the pain from arthritis in his knee after a softball injury. Everyday activities like walking and climbing stairs became increasingly difficult as the pain worsened. Seeking a solution and relief, Ray was referred to Dr. Kurt Morrison, an orthopedic surgeon with Ascension Sacred Heart Orthopedics.

Dr. Morrison took the time to carefully evaluate Ray’s condition. He explained how the old injury had led to worsening arthritis and limited mobility. After discussing Ray’s options and goals, Dr. Morrison recommended a total knee replacement to restore function and eliminate the pain. 

Dr. Morrison said, “Knee replacement surgery can offer remarkable results, with many patients experiencing significant pain relief and the ability to return to everyday activities. For Ray, it was an opportunity to regain mobility and get back to the things he loves.”

With Dr. Morrison's follow-up care and the support of physical therapy, Ray actively regained strength and mobility, continuing his successful recovery journey. Today, he’s back to doing the things he loves—playing sports, walking, and spending time with his family—without the pain holding him back. 

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience,” Ray said. “Dr. Morrison and the entire team were incredible. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and dedicated to making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I’m truly grateful for the care I received, and it made all the difference in my recovery.”
