You want pain? I just found out that I am a candidate for a Total Knee replacement. Been walking on cartilage for about 40 years as I lost my ACL long ago. I am currently "bone on bone". Had a cortisone shot that helped for 3 weeks. Got to see the Doc tomorrow.

This is what 40+ years of jumping rocks will do.

No boat, back in the suds.

I was bone on bone for about a year. I did the partial replacement, some days I wish I did the full, it's all muscle pain now though, almost 40 years of atrophy.

You'll be good in 3 mos.. It's routine upgrade these days. My receptionist had both done and added 3 inches in height so she can look her partner in the eye when they dance.

Just don't count the power tools when the wheel in the racks
