Stories - I decided to have my knee replaced when:

I decided to get my right knee replaced when I realized how much pain I was in when using the stairs, or going up any incline. Things were worse when I carried things like groceries, laundry or anything that weighed more than a few pounds. I used to be an avid Power Walker and now I'm stuck in a walk like an old lady crawl. My left knee needs to be done as well, but I can't handle the thought of doing them at the same time. I'm hoping to have this one done in June 2015, and the other one either in the fall or spring of 2016. We live in New England I want to be able to walk outside after surgery. I want to be able to walk like every other normal person and without pain.
