Thanks David for the info. I've heard that knee replacements are no fun, so untill I have to be dragged around that is when I *might* consider the surgery!!

Believe me, I am NOT looking forward to it!! But thanks for your insight.

The doctors are amazed that after 11 hip surgeries I'm still walking around . I refuse to give up!!
I had little to no cartilage in my left knee. First they tried orthoscopic surgery, but that didn't work. Second they tried a series of five injections of Suparts which was supposed to regenerate the cartilage, but that didn't work, either. Finally the replacement. I was fairly young for the replacement at 55, but after physical therapy, I can walk normally and go back to work as a golf course groundskeeper at which I do a lot of grass cutting! It was tough, but worth it!
