I’m from Canada and a healthy 78 yr old female Have been told from my ortho surgeon that I need a TKR
bone on bone. I do have pain but it’s manageable with quad exercises , anti-inflammatories and lots of walking. Following the walk I do feel discomfort and pain sometimes. I’m thinking I am going to delay the surgery and get another referral from another
Ortho surgeon. I don’t want to go through the whole ordeal. Will see what the other surgeon says.

I will prolong knee #2 as long as possible either a similar plan. I wear a Velcro-type brace at night, but the sudden excruciating pain when I turn or bend has me cursing through the night. What do you do?
