  TKR is a GIANT roll of the dice. Mine came out very bad and crippled me.

  I think Dr. B negotiates well the hugely complex issue of &apos;when&apos; regarding knee treatment/partial/full replacement. I do believe movement is so very important for us all- whatever that is for each individual- so when that starts to go, the replacement or an intervention is getting close. At 57&amp; after double arthroscopies, years ago, I jog (carefully) 3 times a week&amp; constantly walk straight&amp; without issues, but have a travelling joint on one side (momentarily &amp; unexpectedly excruciating) and am almost bone-on-bone on the other (not really painful). I just tell people my knees are shot!

  Thank you for making me understanding if I need 1 or not. I’m sure I do but before I go ahead I’m working on my fitness I think this is very important for rehabilitation <br>I’m 60 and retired so I just want to be in the best position after surgery and I do think it will help. <br>I’m walking 5 to 6 klm a day I’m in a lot of pain while working every day but need to go through this before surgery

  yeah,so i have pain, 2 torn meniscus/es?, bone spurs, and no cartilage. the only problem i don’t have is misalignment. so…..surgery. i know it will hurt, i’m actively working on how to minimize that, but at least there’s a very strong chance it will heal and i can do more than i can do now. ‘other treatments’ have failed. <br><br><br>however, my other knee has a misalignment on the ‘kneecap’ and that’s not going to improve without [ separate] surgery. 😢<br><br>based on my parent’s age, which i understand is increasingly an indication of your own lifespan as you age, i can reasonably expect to live 30 more years. yeah, i’d like those decades to be functional and pain-free.
