Suggest you try all altenatives including anti-inflamatories, cortisone shots, lifestyle change etc. before jumping into knee replacement. Just remember that Cortisone shots does not solve the problem you have, it only delays the inevitable. You will know when you are ready for knee replacement ..and that time typically is when you realize you cant do what you want to do. Yes you may be laid up for awhile but the end result will most likely give you alot of options to enjoy living in the villages
