I've wondered if I'm a candidate yet or not. I broke leg in the knee joint a long time ago. It was repaired well, but as the doctor predicted, I'm finally bone-on-bone. I don't have much pain, but the knee is fairly unstable now, especially if I've been sitting long. I'm a life-long jock with no intention of stopping now. I can't really compete with much intensity now, and I like to rollerblade. I can't help but think the knee could just give out some time.
Anyway, my doctor says if I don't have a lot of pain, it's not time for a replacement yet. I tend to believe him, but the jock in me would really like to have my stable knee back.
Any thoughts?
