[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1660114, member: 12607"] Tore my medial meniscus and partial ACL tear in my right knee, playing football in high school. Had surgery in 1974... back in the day before arthroscopic surgery... they laid that sucker open, and took out the entire meniscus... nothing between bone ends for nearly 45 yrs. I got a total replacement in 2017. Still not 'my' knee, but it's stable. Had had no problems with the other knee... until I had the replacement... but the surgeon said, just before they did the replacement, "Heck, that other one doesn't look much better!". Since the replacment, I've had the other kneecap luxate a couple of times, putting me on the ground. Wife had a meniscal tear probably 10 yrs ago. Orthopedist went in arthroscopically and trimmed the flap off. No more problems. Had to have rotator cuffs 'rebuilt' in both shoulders, 6 months apart, following the total knee replacement in 2017. I thought the knee rehab was bad... it was a piece of cake compared to the shoulders... and 2 years out, I realize I'll never be right (never said I was normal) again. Can't do squat with my arms much above waist level, though I can at least get them up over my head on my own now. Was kinda disappointed this hunting season... had deer close enough that I could have hit 'em with a rock, but my shoulders are so screwed up, I couldn't raise and hold my rifle up to shoot. Guess I'm gonna have to start taking a shooting stick along or something. [/QUOTE]
