I had a full TKR 2 years ago with an excellent surgeon up north. The recovery takes a bit but now I have full, painless use of my leg and am so happy I proceeded with the surgery. I personally think it's better to fix things as you go and not be struggling with pain in your 80's. We'll have enough other pains by then.

I may not have been clear, I use the brace when bowling or golfing or when I expect to possibly strain my knee otherwise I use a simple pull over support. This combination has reduced knee pain to zero, and the doctors have recommended no replacement.
