When you do have knee replacement, it'll be darn near impossible to kneel on hard surfaces again. I got tired of always adjusting my knee pads on multilayers of cold weather clothing while trapping. Maybe you won't have the same issue as far south as you are. I ended up using a boat seat cushion to kneel. It's got straps and is easy to transport when walking. I had one knee scoped twice and the other done once. Combined with injections, it staved off the inevitable for a year or two. Never ever do both knees at the same time. I had surgery on both feet at the same time and convinced the surgeon I could handle both knees being replaced on the same day. Stupidest decision amongst many bad decisions in life. Don't be like Jim!

Most docs WON"T do both at the same time, mine said your a tough guy, you can handle it...

I won't lie, first 10 days were rough, but doable, and it gets better fast...

Yes, kneeling on the hard floor or ground is uncomfortable, you need knee pads, at least, and running might not be in your future, why you would want to run is besides me anyway, lol

Feel free for more helpful advice!,

All the stuff ya'll saying you CAN'T do after knee replacement is what I CANNOT do now.

Why should I have TKR?
