@ray666 I know what you mean. I read something today indicating that our knees actually absorb weight 1.5 times our actual weight and going down steps, the level is higher. No wonder I lost an inch in height in last 10 years! I am side stepping the Stepper for now, doubt it would work for me at this time and so does the physical therapist I saw last year, he advised (for me) against it.

@njed " … the physical therapist I saw last year, he advised (for me) against it." Wow! That's powerful! I just know I can't use the Stepper unless (1) I get a successful TKR, (2) all of my PT finally has a positive effect and my knee stops hurting, (3) I'm visited by a Lourdes-like miracle and can suddenly run marathons again, or (4) none of the above (which is most likely). On we go, eh, Ed? On and on … and on! –Cheers! Ray
