Balancing the pros and cons of knee replacement sounds tricky. I just listened to a podcast about maintaining healthy joints that you may find helpful. A transcript version is also available to either listen to or read online.

I hope you find this information helpful, @nancyjt. I am interested to know what you think after listening.

Bone-on-bone knees sounds difficult. I understand why you want to be intentional to gain as much strength as you can and get your pain under control before considering replacing. Would you have both knees done at the same time?

@jlharsh Thanks so much for the links, Janell. I'll check them out.

No, I don't think I would have both knees done at the same time unless a surgeon really recommended it. The pain from one sounds AWFUL, so I don't know how I'd stand the pain from two knees at once!
