Steve Austin underwent total knee replacement surgery seven weeks ago

Steve Austin is on the road to recovery.

The WWE Hall of Famer shared on Instagram Tuesday that he underwent surgery on his left knee and has been recovering for the last seven weeks.

“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,” he wrote. “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.”

Austin hopes to participate in the upcoming Mint 400, an off-road racing event near Las Vegas that takes place in seven 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,” he said. “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, 60, appeared on the Bobbycast back in October and said he needed knee replacement surgery “pretty quick”, noting his history with knee injuries dating back to his college football days.
