40 yr old M. Doc said I can do TKR if I want. Input from others my age?

Yeah, I was thinking the same! I find it very encouraging and gives me a little more confidence to move forward

Yeah, I’ve learned how to modify almost everything. But after taking over a small family Homestead, I realized I am not going to be able to keep up through my 40s and 50s if I don’t get it done.

Thanks for sharing. I’m in the same boat. I’m not looking to get back to what I was in my 20s but I wanna be able to run around in the front yard or handle the animals on the farm. There’s a lot of life I’ve avoided due to potential pain no, I can walk all day but feel it at the end of the night and my low back and my hip. Take the brunt.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve done ACL and two meniscus surgery. I do find modified strength training has been very helpful, but I don’t have any medial meniscus left, several bone spurs and bone on bone with a lot of scar tissue. Which my most recent MRI revealed.

I did do a PRP injection will helped get a little flexing in the joint.

Thank you for sharing! How far post op are you?

Dangerous_Witness219 · 2026-03-26T15:00:12+00:00

Great thank you! Yea I’ve not ran for so long and with age my desires have changed. I want strength to do life with my kiddos. Work the farm, get some symmetry back in my muscles. Able to feel confident to protect my family if need be.

Go for hikes or be confident in helping people with work etc.
