One thing I have learned in a year on this forum is that it's members cover the spectrum of ages, professions, skills and medical issues!
Both my knees are shot from many years of lowest bidder boots, running in full gear, etc.
The orthopedic surgeon says both knees are bone on bone, and after 3 arthroscopic surgeries, I am missing a bit of cartilage in both of them.

All of this severly limits my hiking range now. I sleep better in the hammock than I did in a tent on the ground.

So, the plan is to probably get one, then the other done over the winter.

I am sure we have forum members with knee replacements.
Any suggestions / comments?

Were there noticeable things that were different between before and after the knee replacement with regards to hiking or hanging?

Anybody who has had both knees done in the past?

I am usually a side sleeper and I wonder if that will be an issue with the replacements.

All advice, comments, suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
