Have you had a knee replacement, and had to have it replaced? Mine was done July 1998 and given a life of 10 years, believe, I will need a new one.

Thanks.

I just had mine done 11/26. My doc said I would never need to replace it. That surgery was worse then my back surgeries. I hope I never have to replace it!

I had both my knees replaced in 1996, I think. I don't have too much problems; good thing, cause I don't want them replaced again!
I will be praying for you, though.

My grandmother had a pacemaker put in. They keep you awake while they do it. She was about 75 at the time. As they were doing the surgery, she looks up at the dr. and requests a 30 year warranty!! LOL. Not good to make the surgeon laugh mid operation. Btw, she is over 90 and the pacemaker is still working!!
