Steve Austin shared an update via Instagram that he underwent surgery on his left knee, having been in recovery for the past seven weeks.
The WWE Hall of Famer thanked the medical and physical therapy team for getting him “back on track” after putting off surgery for years, noting that he was looking forward to being healed up in time for The Mint 400 outside of Las Vegas, Nevada in seven weeks.
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…
I have my sights set to race in The Mint 400 outside of Las Vegas, NV with the @gfiracing team and my teammate @zach_kisman in 7 weeks.
I will get back in my @kawasakiusa KRX1000 for the first time this weekend to knock the rust off and get back to driving. I am thankful to have found the challenge of Desert Off Road Racing. I love competition and the harsh conditions that come with it. So here goes…

Austin talked about his need for surgery back in October on the Bobbycast, making reference to his history with knee injuries dating back to his college football days.
