My uncle had a knee replacement about 2 years ago. He is 65 and spent 30 years working construction so all the cartridge was gone in his knee and it had a lot of damage to it. He was told he could get it scoped and do some other procedures, but they wouldn't be long term fixes or do much for the pain so he got the replacement done. He said it was pretty painful, but after a couple of days the pain was down to where he could manage it. He had to use a walker for a few weeks then a cane for about a month, but it healed well and he says he has no pain now.
