Very true, and easy to remember. However, that should be a temporary solution. I had arthroscopic surgery for meniscus and cartilage tear etc. in October of 2017, and I never got to the point of painless - or even possible - normal stair / downhill walking. I also felt for a while that I should perhaps not have done the replacement (9/18) but overall, it has been worth it. And my PT said it is pointless and unhelpful to second-guess having had the TKR. Working out pretty great overall, now.
