Im scheduled for full knee replacement next month on my right knee. I cant deal with the pain anymore been bone on bone many years Im 54 soon. I can still do everything I like ie gym, motocross, jetski racing and sledding but pay for it at the end of the day, even when doing nothing or trying to sleep its tough to deal with the pain . Ive tried everything braces, pyhsio , cortisone shots nothing helps its too far gone. I had both knees scoped out when i was 20 from playing hockey and I think that did more damage then good and racing bikes in my later years didnt do it much good either . Reading these posts gives me some hope that i can possibly salvage part of the upcoming season.
