My Mom wanted to wait to get knee replacement. She waited to long and wound up not getting her knees replaced.

An internist said I should get the Knee replace before age 70

That is good advice. You also heal better at the younger age.

I hope so! The knee is definitely giving me problems

Good Morning!

I am enjoying the knee replacement discussion. I will need one in the future for my left knee.

Right knee first here, then left. Unless..these shots keep working until I'm gone.

Good luck with that. My Fil needed 2 knee replacements, but never got one due to age. Younger patients get preference because they still work. My in laws live in Canada.

Had a friend back in the 90's. In his 80's. Had..both..knees replaced! He did great!

Oh oh. I'm 72. Going to keep thinking of my 80 something year old friend that had both and did fine.

Have you been getting those wonderful gel shots? I keep getting told by specialists here, to keep getting the shots as long as they're working. Better than knee surgery.

Giid morning Old Folks. We just keep getting new little surprises as we age. Some not so little.
I used to take care of older folks. Now I'm one. Now I truly understand.

I thought long time ago I was done with pups.
Then I was given a male poodle.
This is awful at this age very tiring.

My right knee is ok for now.

I hope you can get good relief from the new shot!

My Mom was getting the Gel shots. I have not tried them yet.
