Hi there Lawanna,

It certainly sounds like you should get your knees replaced. I don't suggest doing both at once. I had both knees replaced, separated by 4 months.

My brother did have bilateral replacement and he got through it, with a lot of assistance from his wife. Not something I would recommend, but there is precedent.

I wish you all the best!

Joe

Joe, thanks for chiming in! You are the only one who has agreed that I should get my knees replaced. That was a big decision since I am not in constant pain. Your brother is fortunate to have someone who is a good caregiver. I decided to ask to go to a Rehab facility. At my age, I feel like that makes sense and would be the best route. I will find out next week if it is possible and make a decision on how to proceed.
