I've had a partial knee replacement since 2009.
Rehab was interesting.....I nearly passed out several times over 12 weeks of PT, my injury was an incident 35 years ago that got progressively worse. Did not know I was compensating so much. Through PT I had to work out a completely new skeletal alignment.

BigBo had one done.

I have a friend who recently had both knees done at the same time. His original pain was 7-9 out of 10. He's chasing his kids around the backyard in Phoenix 10 weeks after.

Wife's best friend had a full replacement in August. Works retail at Basspro, on her feet 8 hours a day no issues

9-11 power tools are used plus a whole bunch of glue

If you have significant knee pain due to arthritis, depending on your age, knee replacement may be the right thing.

If you are younger than 45, there are other options, microfracture, maybe a better option
