I had to have both knees replaced due to congenital sublux knee caps, one 15 yrs ago, the other 11 yrs ago. Ran 12 miles a day for years. Worked out. Stayed semi-healthy despite the pain. My knees were bone on bone for too long. My first surgeon came to my hospital room after surgery to tell me how stunned he was that I withstood such a pain level... I have zero regrets! I hear so many folks talking about enduring the pain... It is not worth it! I was up and walking 6 hours after both surgeries! Great rehab PT. I was teaching Sunday school at 2 weeks post op, on my feet! No crutches, no walker, no cane. It's amazing!
