I've still got both of my "Original Equipment Manufacturer" (car repair jargon) knees, but my wife had both of hers replaced, and it's made a huge improvement to her level of mobility and overall quality of life.
Her main advice to anyone considering knee replacements is to do your physical therapy. All of it. Yes, it'll hurt. Do it anyway. All of it. She's convinced that the main reason that people have trouble with knee replacements is that they skimp on their PT, so don't do that. Best of luck.
