Mickey, the decision to have knee surgery is a tough one. You can talk to people who had the procedure and find out that everyone had their own experience with the recovery process and end product, good or not so good. Like birds, I had my left replaced (January) 2010. The surgery went very well, perfect alignment and recovery. My Physical Therapist told me that my knee had a great range of motion at my preliminary visit. My right knee, which is also worn out, rarely bothers me since it no longer compensates for my left knee. I am very blessed.
I choice my orthopedic surgeon after talking to friends, who had the procedure, hospital nurses, and my Physical Therapist and got a good idea who are the best surgeons.
IMO, other factors that effect recovery is weight, physical fitness, and age. I certainly didn’t excel in these conditions, but I wasn’t that bad either.
I’m here if you want to talk. Good luck with your decision.
