im 48, not 88. Im told Im too young for knee replacements,they only last 20 years. ok. in 20 years, if I live that long Ill be 68.
i want to be able to walk NOW, i can get a scooter thing at 68.
was talking to a friend today also in this predicament. shes 57. in 20 years shell be 77.
shes told shes too young to have one now.
the cashier in a shop also the same. shes 61. 20 years time, 81.
there seem to be so many younger people around with walking sticks.
so why????? if i could afford to go private would my knees be done then?
any docs out there? what is young then?
id like to walk/run/play sports NOW, while I CAN.
