I have had both knees replaced, left in 2007 and right in 2010. I am able to play pickle ball, golf, bowl, ride a bike and do pretty much anything I want except kneel. To get around this limitation I use gel knee-pads when I need to work in the yard or on my golf cart and have to get down on my knees.
It was the best decision I’ve ever made! The pain I suffered with all those years was gone. Yes you will have pain from your surgery but that will go away. One bit of advice is to ask your doctor/surgeon to put you in physical therapy before your surgery. The purpose of this is to build up the muscles and help the recovery process. It worked for me. Good luck!
