She was very active before so she had good muscle mass which helped her recovery. She and my brother ride bikes about 10 miles every day. Also a friend's mother had both knees replaced at 89. She is 97 today and still mobile.<br />I would research the doctor throughly and go by references of people he has worked on.<br />Taking OTC glucosamine/condroitin for about 10 years has kept the knife away from my hips.<br />Good luck.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315622674616774363.post-88422374223342730802010-02-04T12:21:10.527-06:002010-02-04T12:21:10.527-06:00I know 3-4 people who have had knee replacements a...I know 3-4 people who have had knee replacements and have done very well with them.

That was a long time ago so I have to believe a lot of improvement has happened since that time. I can't imagine ever resisting such surgery if it would make my life more comfortable.
