(52,985 posts)1. Fine except for a bad right knee. Going to see second orthopedic surgeon 7/26 for a
second opinion. First guy hardly looked at it or MRI or Xrays before declaring I needed a total replacement. He didn't say what was wrong or why a replacement was the only course.

I asked my orthopedist when I should get it replaced.
"When the pain gets bad enough."
Well, it ain't that bad at all, so I'm putting it off as long as possible.
How bad is you pain?
Are you taking Joint Soother.
I get it from Puritan's Pride online.
