[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 475757, member: 11791"] When Mom had her knees done... the knees were so bad that the doctors couldn't guarantee she'd walk again. The pain was SO bad that Mom was more concerned about the worst-case for pain... and the doctors told her that, in her case, the "worst case" would be limited mobility similar to status quo (she was 90% wheelchair bound), and at least 95% pain free.... Based on the pain-reduction factor, for her... it was a hands-down guaranteed win (at least as far as you can guarantee anything in the health field)... mobility was simply a bonus. (30+ years later, she's still not wheel-chair bound). In other words, Janet... even if they can't do a joint to handle daily major wear and tear at your current weight... they CAN solve the pain problem there... and THAT may enable you to find non-weight-bearing ways to get active... and start an upward cycle. Here's hoping... [/QUOTE]
