I had my left knee replaced in my late 40’s and my right knee done almost 14 years ago at 58. It already had five previous surgeries on the right, starting as a teen. I have no regrets. The side procedure was done on the right and center on the left. The surgery is no picnic but if you are diligent with your physical therapy you will reap the benefits. I walk everyday and am able to function so much better than prior to the surgeries. I have conditions that led to the early need for the surgeries which means I still do have some joint pain but nothing like I had previously. Find a good surgeon who has a history of successful outcomes. Good luck to you. My advice, get it done!
