Have had both knees done 5 years ago. Was playing tennis (on clay courts) and pickleball within 2 months of just practicing, actual playing within 3. Gave up slalom course waterskiing, no more snow skiing, still flowride hours each day on a cruise, and gave up tennis when we moved here because all the tennis courts are hard courts. I play from 2-5 hours of pickleball 7 days a week. I have also laid 1200 sq ft of tile (used heavy duty knee pads and extra pads), and play golf multiple times a week.
I can get on my knees if it’s on carpet with no issues, hard tile floors, that still hurts/feels weird.
If you need new knees, get them done, it’s well worth it
