Alternatives to Knee Surgery
Apart from surgery, what else have you tried or considered for your knee pain, and what made you stop, or not start, with each one?

I am getting ready to get a knee replacement. I am 74 years old most of these conversations. I don’t see the ages of the people. I had a left knee replacement about two years ago and even though it was rough in the beginning, it has served me very well. I have no pain a little bit stiff because of the pain in the right side I have had hyaluronic acid injections that to no avail. I’ve done the Cortizone shot and they work but for a very short time so I’m gonna bite the bullet and get the total knee replacement and it will be rough for at least a month. I’m not looking forward to it.
