Had my first knee done at the age of 53 and the second knee done at the age of 57. Did not have them done in Florida as I lived in New England at the time. Had many of a combination of what everyone else posted. Everyone can handle different types of pain so I don't think pain meds would be the same for everyone. With the first one I was alot more careful during my recovery as I was unsure of what was happening but the second one I flew through therapy and recovered much faster as I was braver. Would I do it again as I am now 60 years old and absolutely and probably sooner. I don't think of my knees as being artificial I actual don't even think of them and they never stops me from trying anything. The miracle of medicine in my case was wonderful as I would not be doing what I do today. I am so grateful !!!
