For twenty years or more I have had pain in my left knee and was told that I would need a knee replacement one day. I always enjoyed being physically active, including tennis, swimming and going to the gym. With time I became aware of increased pain and difficulty in performing some everyday functions such as climbing stairs and getting up from the dinner table and being able to immediately walk away. The changes were subtle and you just make adjustments. Suddenly, in late 2008, after I had retired from the practice of law, I had two instances of sharp pain in the knee and needed a crutch and then a cane to walk. The acute episodes improved to the point where I could again walk without pain but the writing was on the wall. I realized that there would be progressive deterioration and activity-limiting discomfort.
