Dr told me today I am bone on bone and possibly less than 10 years away from one.

Blew my ACL playing for the semi-mighty Captain Shreve Gators a few decades ago. It took awhile, but the arthritis finally got me.

I want to know if this is gonna end my sex life.

You'd have to have one in the first place, no?

Had two acl reconstructions and the only problem was that I had to get rid of the trapeze in the bedroom.

My uncle. He said pain is gone, but that thing stays swollen. His Dr told him it was his immune system attacking the fake joint. Could take a year to go down.

Had a TKR in August. The first two months were hard but it's much better than before surgery. Don't put it off to the point you're in so much pain it makes you miserable. Your knee isn't going to get better on its own.

Also, consider a spinal over general anesthesia. It makes thr recovery room a breeze. I even talked to them some while they were doing my surgery.

How old are you? Wait as long as you can, ask about synvisc injections , NSAIDs, and work on getting your quads as strong as you can

My Dad had both knees replaced. As long as you do the rehab everything will be fine. He didn't lose his sex life until his prostate was removed so you should be OK with that.

Nah, you should still be able to bend over and let your boyfriend pound your arse from behind.

My uncle had several, 3 I think, primarily caused by his years in the 82nd Airborne.

I could ask him for you, if you build me a time machine and allow me to go back several years, since he passed away you insensitive frick!

My FIL had both knees, Parran had one, my aunt had one, a good buddy of mine had both done at 46 years old.


All of them said they wish they had done it sooner.

Yes. Modern procedures will have you being 100% in less than a month after rehab. There is a great program at Oschner.

My Wife had one about a month ago.

Same thing...She had ACL surgery in College and she ended up being bone on bone after 20 years.

I have no idea. Our sex life ended after I said "I Do".

I have had a couple of coworkers and a grandparent who have had them...every single one of them said that they had waited far too long. Coworkers were back to 100 percent within 6 weeks or so...and these guys do some pretty physical stuff for a living. Grandmother wouldn't do her physical therapy, so she always walked the same way that she had before surgery (pretty bad limp), but she said there was no pain after the surgery.

As I said earlier, every person I know who has had a joint replacement says they waited too long and endured far too much pain as a result.

Had a friend just do a double knee replacement.....They always recommend doing one at a time but she was like, F that.....If I have to do rehab I want to get them both done. With that said......She is way better.....But not perfect.

You don't need a knee to have sex. All you need is a dick.
