Wonder if the OP is still around and how the knee is doing. My right knee began to make a lot of noise when I was 57 and now at 82 it's been thru a lot in 25 yrs. All worse since hip replacement in 2010, and ended up with staph infection in right knee from doc's needle of Prolo injection. I was doing good and the 5th series did me in, talk about regrets....

The staph infection docs at hospital did a knee clean out and I believe it made it all worse....

Anyway, I will NOT do another surgery of any kind that is Elective, and manage with my walker. And I avoid steroid injections, it's known that the steroids do more damage to any tissue left in the joint.

And there are good outcomes from knee replacements and NOT good ones, I know of people with both stories.

I had a lifetime of activity and believe too consumed too much sugar and carbs which also brings on OA in the joints, and a lot of genetic, and of course years of wear and tear.

Wondering is the OP person still here and status? j
