When is the right time to decide for a knee replacement?

I’m curious to know if you got the surgery and how it, & recovery went. My situation was similar to yours: 1st surgeon visit he said not yet, waited over a year and went back and he said OK. I was the same age as you the 1st time I saw him, and wanted surgery for the same reasons. I had TKR 2 months ago and have been told (by PT, RN, PA) my recovery is atypical in a good way. As someone said, everyone is different, But I’m hopeful about having hip surgery at some point.

Incredible that you remembered my conversation with this forum, so many kind and encouraging people.
Yes, I did get the tkr 3 months ago. As you know , it’s a hard surgery. Like you, I’m doing great. My PT dismissed me after 6 sessions. I can climb and go down the stairs. I was in good shape before the surgery, continue to do hip, glutes and quad exercises at the gym with weights and machine. Everyday I do the recumbent bicycle and epiliptical machine . Ian taking good care of the other knee too.
