What do you think about an 85 yr old female getting a TKR. Bone on bone with recent torn meniscus that has healed itself. No swelling now but moderate pain at times. Walking good but not far. My cardiologist won’t clear me without a pharma nuclear stress test which has me stressed out thinking about it. Maybe there are other options for my situation

@mrsgbg

I am 80 and I returned to playing golf 27 days after getting a new right knee. Go for it.

@mrsgbg I have had pharma nuclear stress tests - please don't let this be a cause of distress, I have had many other medical tests that were more difficult.

Here is a step by step description of what to expect:

Is it the terminology that scares you?
