Hi Chris. Thanks for your reply. No I didn’t get a new patella and didn’t have gout or crystals. Ok I get it no strenuous activities = increased longevity. I used to hike but won’t do that anymore. So walking further increases over time. That’s hopeful.

Yep...gotta just go up the mountain and then be lifted off the top or ride a donkey down like at the Grand Canyon. I was easily doing 3 miles a day with just small inclines at a regional park and at the quarry. I hope to work up to 3 miles again this year.

By the way.....I did read a reference last night that estimated the life of an average TKR to be 15 years. Didn't check the authenticity of the statement and yet I am sure the longevity is different for everyone based upon age, activities and total care of the knee. Chris
