Hi, do you mind telling us what kind of knee surgery? Reason I ask, is I've dealt with OA knee starting when I was 57, going on 20 yrs ago...So I've got thru my life and no knee surgery, wore knee supports and went to my gym into mid 60's...

For me, surgery, is the last resort. I know an MD here who does work to TRY to save people from joint surgeries. He says often knees can mend but I don't know your issue. If you do a knee surgery, wouldn't they do a local. I had a hip replacement in 2010, and no general, a local was my choice and the surgeon as well. The surgery went good but after 5th month, many complications hit me with this major surgery. Nothing to do with anesthesia. So more than ever I am paranoid about surgery, unless an emergency.

If you care to hear about this type work, let me know and I'll post more info, if you are set on surgery then the best to you. Many people go with locals for this type surgery.
