I wanted to chime in with a different view, knowing now, what I wish I knew then....then being before I had a LTKR. If you are functioning well enough as I did with a knee brace and you can withstand the pain, don’t do the surgery now. If you are still questioning yourself, it’s probably not time to do it, but only you can answer that. There are no guarantees that a BTKR will return you to the life you want and you may be even worse off after surgery as in my case. I am scheduled for a revision the week before you are scheduled for your new knees and it has been a long and suffering year dealing with my TKR! I wish I’d never had it! I am worse off now than before the TKR and am praying hard the revision will fix it, but again there are no guarantees. If you can get by without having it done, that is always an option.
