Please keep me posted on this. I am tired of limping for days afterwards.

Good luck.

dblref,
My mother just had a full knee replacement. She was up on it the following day. Her recovery is going great and she is like a new kid again (she's 64). My father-in-law had the knee replaced 2 years ago (at 60) and his is still giving him trouble.

I'd go for the replacement and wear the brace.

Thanks, Dudly. I have been wearing the brace all season. Ortho doc told me to rest it this summer (oh, no! No rec ball!)and see how it is then. Told my rec assignor this last night and he said good luck with it. He called me at 9:00am this morning to see if I would work a couple of games. DUH!
