I have been told in many cases, the strategy is to delay the replacement until an age when the artificial joint will last for the rest of the recipients life. Trying to be proactive on this, as the last year has brought some various knee pains my way during training and touring. ( https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/..._id=11208&v=G3 ) Sure would appreciate your input!!

Do these people that have the back/hip pain sit a lot?? If so tell'm to get outta the chair and start walking a bit.
