Has anyone had a knee joint replacement?

The doctor is doing a partial knee, I think they call it joint replacement. I have had problems with my knees for about 5 years, osteoarthritis in both, bone on bone. The shots help but everything I’ve read, the arthritis just continues to get worse, I’m trying to get ahead of it, if possible.
I would try anything rather than have surgery, I’ve seen the pain first hand.

Your dr should have a team he works with ….maybe find out what all they will be replacing anyone should be happy to explain it to you….i have bone on bone so trust me I understand …. The more information the better … hope it goes great for you … just keep moving

Do NOT do a partial. Do the Total Knee Replacment. I have had 4 open surgeries on my right knee. If I had to do all over again, I would do Total.

The surgeon that did my TKR will not even consider doing partials. He says they fail overtime.
