Oh, my aching knee!

It seems that I have tried everything to get rid of that nagging pain in my knee. I have gone to a specialist, used ice packs and hot packs and tried both topical and injected pain relievers. Now my doctor is suggesting total joint replacement as a way to relieve my symptoms.

Not quite sure what I plan to do. I know of a few people who have had replacement surgery and seem to experience more pain afterwards.
