Well, I assume your mom is dealing with an Ortho and knows all the variables that affect knee replacements, like weight, diabetes, etc.....and that they will, in all likelihood, need to be replaced again - unless things have changed in the six years since I had both of mine replaced. I am glad I did it....and have done well, but may am actually seeing an Ortho tomorrow for some hip/knee issues. I may have waited too long to get mine done when I finally did and was bone-on-bone a and had had three scopes on each knee ...every Ortho had different opinion. Be sure she is going to a very well vetted one.

I also know people who had replacements done, and are very happy with the results. Your Mom will probably feel much better!

My Dear Mother is having knee troubles too
I hope your Mom's replacement will go well. My aunt had hers replaced last year and she had no problems and now can run again..:)

Well if she is going to have it eventually, the younger the better I would imagine.

I hope never to have to have anything on me replaced. But I'm wishing your mom well and lots of success in what they do for her.

These are interesting times, aren't they? Think about it: only 100 years ago 'replacing a knee' like it was no big deal would have been an insane idea, and a 'modem'? What's that?

Sounds like Mom really does need to have that knee replacement.
