No cure for arthritis. It just gets worse, not better.
Seems like they could have just replaced the knee while it was broke... but I dont know how bad your break was... mine was right in the joint and did not go down into my tibia. Many times I wished I had mine replaced instead of dealing with the surgery & recovery. A month in a wheelchair, 4 months on crutches, another 3 or 4 months walking with a cane, and over a year walking with a limp. In a knee brace for months. Extremely painful physical therapy to get my knee to bend again... I can still remember the sound of the scar tissue ripping when the therapist would do his stuff...
Good times, good times indeed.
But still not as bad as dealing with an arthritic knee every day. I think I'd just do it, and get it over with.
