I did a lot of marathons in my 30s and 40s. I also inherited osteoarthritis and that did me in. I had a few scopes to repair a torn meniscus and a Baker's cyst, and in one case, the meniscus was damaged so badly it had to be removed.

Eventually I was bone-on-bone. I had good days, mostly bad days, and pulled the trigger on TKRs in 2022. Had both knees replaced, 4 months apart, and the results have been great. No impact sports, but I do spin a lot for cardio health. Best thing - no more pain.

Has your Dr. discussed a TKR? I'm no Dr, but when I got to the point of constant pain with no other remedies, I just had the surgeries. The rehab is key - gotta hit it hard and immediately after surgery.

All the best to you.
