@galactic33 Hi Tracy - In my mid 70's, I do not have any health issues you referenced and quite honestly with the exception of my knee issues and PN, I am generally in good health. Very active until about 2015 when PN became an issue and in past 10 years, like many others, slow progression. I have tried to go to teaching hospitals over the years relating to both PN and knee problems and Mayo in MN being one of them. I have family members in the medical field and have always listened to their opinions. I can't say I followed their advice 100% but took what they said and, in most cases, applied what they suggested. My knee issues were minor until around 2021 when they became more serious. Of course, by then, my PN became worse as well. Had my knee issues became worse 10 years ago, it is likely I would have been a candidate for replacement at that time. Ed
