The year I turned 57 I had two knee replacement surgeries. Now, some people say you can't get them that "young". Does that make sense? Why in the "H" would you want to be in constant pain and be crippled while you are young, waiting to get older so you can be pain free and enjoy running around while the rest of your body is old? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Anyway, regardless of the age, my pain was so bad that I didn't think twice about having the surgery. The first one was March 2004 and the second one December 2004. I had an excellent surgeon and my recovery was pretty simple.
If you are considering this operation -- don't wait!! It will put you in the best frame of mind. (Remember, pain causes depression causes pain causes depressing, et al.) Go for it so you will be able to "speed at sixty".
I go to the gym several times a week, can walk pain-free, and will never be sorry. But one thing you must remember. the recovery and quality of life afterwards depends on how hard you are willing to work after surgery.
