For those who have had surgery, replacement or just a bad knees:
Which knee is problematic? If both, which knee started to bother you first?

I've pretty much got no cartilege in the right knee and only a "hair" in the left. Two years ago, I was looking hard at replacement of both with 5 years. Since then, I've taken to regularly hitting the gym, toning some stuff up and dropping some weight. I don't have anywhere near the pain that I had. I've probably still got replacement in my future, but I think it's out to ten years, maybe more.

I had surgery on my right knee 2 weeks ago for a torn meniscus. It tore while I was working a tournament in June and I haven't been able to work any games since. So far so good on the recovery. No pain where the tear was. I can't wait to get back behind the dish.

My left knee started to bother me first. I think it was because I twist it as I come out behind the catcher and out of my plate stance. I am having it scoped in two weeks.

The reason I asked. Recently, a group of us were discussing this topic and it seemed many complained that the left knee was first.
It was mentioned that umpires who buttonhook by truly pivoting on the left foot may be twisting that knee just a bit too much. Personally, I tend to step into my pivot instead of spinning on the left foot.

Well, the left was first for me -- but probably not buttonhook-related. At that time (10 years ago), I was doing a lot more catching during pitching practice than umpiring...and I thought the bucket was for wimps

Bad Knees? I've seemed to have them all my life. Stopped playing slow pitch about 12 years ago, been umpiring ever since. Was told five years ago I needed them replaced but was too young. Well, the time has come, surgery is tomorrow. Having total knee replacement on the right first then the left next month. Is there any other umpires out there who have had knee's replaced? Would like to know how this affected your umpiring.
