    Hi Bill

    Sorry if I sounded like I was triviallising your symptoms. I didn't mean to. It is just that to meet the requirements for Total knee replacements you have to be pretty highly disabled. And as you are 42 surgery would be something to try to avoid for a good long while

    Did I say I was 42? Oh dear ageing myself early. I am 42 in May. Did not mean to make you think that I thought you were trivialising my condition as I know you were not and as stated much appreciative for your input. The surgeon who operated did state at sometime I would need to have my knees replaced. This was after my 3rd ligament recon op. I have had 2 Anterior/Posterior Ligament repairs on my left knee (and this is the one that is really giving me trouble). This is why I am reluctant to go to the Doc's just incase they say its time to do something. Have a great day
