New Knees Needed

I went to the doctor about my recent knee pain. The pain is gone, swelling down, and I'm getting along pretty good with a cane. The doctor sort of released me to go back to normal activity... and said I could start back exercising on the bicycle. Good News, BUT

They X-rayed both knees today and said that both were very bad-- BONE ON BONE.  We agreed to keep going with what I have and plan on one knee replacement this winter. I don't think it's a question of IF, but rather a question of WHEN to get knee replacements.

Sounds like a great plan to me.

Hi Jim,
Glad your knee is better....I do undertstand your reluctance to have knee replacement. However, everyone I have ever talked with that have had that surgery were glad that they did! Glad you are going to be able to wait until after fishing season is over! :)
Love ya - Karen
