I would go as long as you can before you have a knee replacement. If you can't walk then you should get one. It's been 14 months for me and he made by leg one and a 1/2 inch longer. Is dealing with a lot of chronic pain all over now. I'm worse off than what I was before surgery.

One thing none of these surgeons tells you is that you are never right after the replacement. A lot of people require it because of the level of pain but make no mistake you are NOT the same. TKR is the number one most profitable surgery in the country, Gee wonder what the motivation is? Avoid as long as possible!
