[QUOTE="wallyo, post: 1392743, member: 89672"] At 60 years old, my knees have been bothering me for a couple years. I attribute their deterioration to heavy running ,biking, and heavy squats in my younger years. I've been to the doctor twice now for cortisone shots, in only about a month. Going up and down stairs makes my knees sound like gravel grinding in a blender. I go in Tuesday for the "chicken liquid/cortisone" shot, and am told that it should last me about three months, but that my surgery is inevitable. My knees are already bone on bone with my femur bone, and obviously getting worse. As a prior Navy man of 20 years, and now a walking mailman, I don't take it easy on my knees at all; living in Minnesota, I walk through a lot of snow and on a lot of ice, so I'm trying to schedule my surgery/PT for post riding season, late December, I'll have one knee done, and once I'm able to go up, and down stairs; I'll go into surgery for the other knee. After reading all these posts, I have a clearer picture of what to expect, and I thank you all. Thank you DC for starting this thread,Pants, I hope your wife continues successfully with her recovery, and to all that have related their experiences, thank you as well. Riding season is coming for me , so I'm excited to get out riding again, and get some miles under my belt before putting my knees under the knife. Ride safe everyone. Wallyo [/QUOTE]
