HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY.

Total knee replacement surgery is an elective procedure. Along with your doctor, you will decide when the time is right for this surgery. Your doctor has more than likely treated your condition with plain medications, antiinflammatory drugs or perhaps even minor surgery. But now the pain has become severe. Even staying off your feet doesn't help. You cannot sleep at night because of the discomfort. You are probably the best judge of when you will finally need total knee replacement surgery. When the pain becomes so chronic that even medication does not seem to help, you are probably ready to consider surgery
