In January 2018, I underwent a Tibial Osteotomy operation in the UK. I had been suffering from the onset of arthritis on my right knee and needed a solution that would avoid a knee replacement operation and get my life back to some level of normality.

The last 4 weeks has forced all of us to live in the ‘new ‘ world and having to adapt to social distancing. For me, work is no different as I mainly worked from home and used tools like Skype for Business and Teams for meetings anyway. If anything, the working hours have started to get longer.
To exercise and to keep muscle strength at a decent level has been a challenge as my Gym has been closed for 4 weeks now. I have been doing some basic weight training and keeping the strength in the knee. I have started to feel the pain in the knee though and do miss the gym. It never goes away completely.
I did fix up my mountain bike ( got a decent TREK 6500 MTB from 2011) and have been cycling every other day and am able to clock up about 60km per week. I only have 45 minutes for lunch but fewer cars on the road does make cycling more relaxing.
In addition to the cycling, taking yoga classes (via Youtube) is helping with the stretching and muscle building. If folks are thinking Yoga is lame, I urge you to have a go, you will use and stretch muscles you never knew were weak. For stretching muscles in the legs and simply doing the breathing exercises does help relieve knee pains. I may start to do Yoga every morning (starting next week!)
