Hi @ecook, I don't blame for being frustrated. I am too. I hate not being able to do simple tasks that require kneeling down and having to get up from sitting slowly before taking a step to make sure the knee is OK. If I had the money I would try the stem cell therapy although the ortho doctor I talked with didn't think it would help much if you have bone on bone - didn't think it could grow any new cartilage for the joint. Probably my biggest fear is not being able to get the knee replacement until I'm even older than I am now and that will make rehab even more painful. I just take it one day at a time and try to keep moving the best I can.
