Thank you so much for the advice. A good friend of mine had two done within the last year and she is doing fine and she is even coaching lacrosse again for the high school right now it’s just my knee. I had my fourth gel injection and in six weeks, if it hasn’t improved, I will schedule a knee replacement. I will be 68. I will be 68 but I’m very active. Do Pilates walk ton lift weights and have osteoporosis I don’t wanna let things get in my way. Life is too short. , but I’m very active.

Ask your surgeon about lovera and ON-Q. They are different forms of pain relief post-op. Look them up. My friend just had a TKR and she was astonished that she had great pain relief.
Good luck and remember that moving and being faithful with PT.
