At your age, I'd say whatever you can do first.

It depends upon a lot of factors.
Has the cartilage in the knee completely deteriorated?
Can steroid injections help?
Have you discussed a new procedure of using genetic material to help rebuild the cartilage?

I'm 80, obese, and on blood thinners so knee replacement is out for me.

Try every other treatment before going for the knee surgery.

It depends. A decade ago I tore my ACL playing roller hockey of all things. My health insurance company did make sure they told me surgery wasn't mandatory but thankfully it was covered and I had it. I was in decent shape, I did the pre-surgery strengthening and this cute nurse got me off my butt to do the post surgery rehab. All went well and my repaired knee is 99% good as new. Its difficult to describe but I KNOW which one is repaired even if it functions just like the other one.

Jerold, my doctor did 10 ACL repairs the day she did mine. Its a "clean" problem with a known repair and a reasonable "worst case". Depending on what's going on in yours I'd weigh the chances of success against the risks. On a ridiculous end, if you have a bit of high blood pressure, you don't get a heart transplant.

I had a scope in Dec, so far it's hit and miss. I have been told to give it a few more months. We'll see.

Depends on why they hurt. Are you on your knees a lot? How much do you weigh?

The best option is to see a qualified orthopedist and to get a proper diagnosis and then a recommendation for treatment.

You probably need some sort of surgery. The question is whether you need Knee replacement. At a minimum, get an X-ray and see what is going on.

My bad. Everyone on the internet is an expert on everything and only posts with perfectly good intentions.

Each case really has to be determined individually. Depends on what exactly is causing the pain, what the other options might be, if you are a marathon runner or if you sit behind a desk all day, etc.

My mum has severe knee pain, and has decided not to do knee surgery yet. She's 88.

By all means see a couple different doctors on this, and make the best decision you can based upon the info you get as to whether or not to have surgery and what kind to have.

If you live in a socialistic country, you have to do what they say, but if you are in America, you have Medical Freedom and it entails great responsibility. You did the right thing in reaching out to the internet on this.

I you haven't already, get x-rays, maybe MRI, see a sports doctor. Good luck my friend.

I know a lot of people who have had knee surgery due to severely painful injuries, with varying results.

Just don't expect any miracles. You might end up on opiods for the rest of your life.

Everyone I know has done really well with knee surgery. It can be very positive life changing. That being said, I had a knee injury (fell on my right knee) it swelled up but I kept walking. No problem. Guess I was lucky.
