[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1754659, member: 25884"] I agree on the replacing joints that can be done. I nearly could not walk with the ankle pain; after the replacement I have no pain in the joint. I do have some wonky nerve tingly feelings and the ankle is a little more "swollen" or thicker... but HURT.... NO The same things with the knees. They hurt so, and even my farmers said it bothered them to see me walk and how much better I walk now since they have been replaced. The tendons and ligaments pull more on the one, they are a little stiff... but they don't HURT. I can stand without pain. I get stiff and it takes a bit some times to get moving... but not PAIN. Ache and a little sore... okay... Being overweight doesn't help, and I am working on that... but 2 years of next to no activity because the pain would bring me to tears from the ankle and knees.... so now trying to go back and make up for the lack of exercise those couple of years. I am back to doing more that I enjoy, and more on the farm this year. Hope to be even better next year. I will be 69 in Sept... not afraid of it... sure wish I was still 50, but glad I am still here and functioning more and better everyday than 2 years ago. Hope I have another 20-30 years to be a PITA to my son and others. [/QUOTE]
