As my dad used to say it beats the alternative

Have you tried doing exercises to strengthen your knees? Such as riding a bicycle or using a stair-climbing machine? Those helped me lots.

Practically no cartilage in one and the others not far behind. Not much I can do except try and protect what I have left. Do ride bike some

If those have metal hinges I use them also. Play beach volleyball in them. They really protect. No more ACL surgeries for me thank you.

Had 5 procedures on the left knee, mostly scopes to clean up cartilage. Did do damage to ACL once though. Now I keep ‘em wrapped tight

That should help a lot. I’ve had three ACLs and one meniscus repair. Yes. Getting old sucks. I’ve also had four rotator cuff surgeries.

Only one shoulder now but working through the steps for the other now. SLAP tears from a fall while on a jog with the dog. Don’t do that now

I’ve also had two rounds of hyaluronic acid injections. Insurance won’t cover it. $1500 per knee/injection. They helped a lot too.
