I had tkr …. My other knee in rough shape …. I am doing everything I can stay away from surgery …. For me as long as I can get relief it’s good …. Having tkr is no guarantee you will be out of pain , majority of us who have tkr still have some pain and stiffness, just putting it out there ….. I thought I would not have anymore pain I was sadly disappointed… when it hurts your quality of life … you will know when it’s time to have tkr….good luck

I had both knees replaced over 15 years ago and they have been pain free since. I had to have a hip and shoulder replaced when I am now 77, 15 years later. I found the recovery MUCH more difficult at this age. As soon as you know it is inevitable I would recommend having the surgery. Later you can have more health issues making it more difficult.
