When the doc looked at my xrays he was wondering how I was even walking as it was He said nothing but replacement was going to fix that. My knees have been shot for years, but a few months ago the left one quit being able to straighten out completely. I thought maybe they could chisel whatever is blocking it out but apparently not, so I have to lose a bit more weight and call him when I am there. Hope to have that done in 3 months or so (slow and easy for this, want it to be a permanent loss)
