[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 306593, member: 1514"] Knee replacements last an average of 10 to 15 years if they do a good one and Medicare/medicaid patients dont tend to get the very best-high end models. My weight may cause me to have to get a more luxury model...lol. As far as pain control and ortho docs...ha! They dont do no stinkin pain pills! Not for long term pain control. After surgery, sure. They think celebrex is a miracle drug. It doesnt do a thing for me. I wont even take it because of the heart attack/stroke risk. Now I am a bit worried about the knee replacement deal because of the PE risks. After already having both a PE and a DVT, I dont know if I am such a good risk. Yeah I know they can put the lil filters in but...yuck. They have to go in from up top and fish them out! I watch too much tv! [/QUOTE]
