Hi,
I'm new here, and am really starting to worry about my upcoming surgery. I just turned 47 in April, and went to my doctor April 18, due to severe pain in both my knees.
Was sent to the ortho doctor, and after he saw my xrays, and examined my knees, he told me I have a severe genetic defect, no cartilage left in either knee, and scheduled me for my left knee to be totally replaced on July 16.
After reading through the internet, and finding this site, I am wondering if there are many people in their 40's who have had this done??
I am scared
Thank you.
