If you need new knees, get it done. I lived with bone on bone for years before I had both done 5 years ago. I had friends try the stem cell route and didn’t work, they had to have them replaced.
The most crucial part of the knee surgery is the PT work done after surgery. If you have a dr or medical institution tell you to wait 1 week before starting PT, go with someone else. I know friends that waited and they too needed a manipulation.
My dr told me to go to a PT company but I chose to have in-home therapy. Didn’t work and I had to get a manipulation done 10 weeks post surgery to get it to bend. Second time, I started PT the next day and I was playing sports 8 weeks later.
