New knees

[PaulS]

Dad had both knees done like 20 years ago. Said it was the best thing that he ever did. It is my understanding you have to do the rehab in the beginning which is somewhat painfull. He had a friend who didn't push themselves in the rehab and they have had problems to this day. Don't know how old you are but I would ask about the expected life span of the proposed knees. Obviously, the surgery is different today. Good luck, you shouldn't have any problems.

FYI Gup.....

How long do total knee replacements last? When knee replacement procedures were first performed in the early 1970s, it was thought that the average total knee implant would last approximately 10 years. We now know that approximately 85 percent of the knee implants will last 20 years.
