My regret know is that I did not get both done because the left knee is hurting and starting to hold me back. At this point I am afraid to interrupt my cycling for fear of gaining weight back so I take pain meds and put up with it.
If I had it to do again I would have done both and got it over with. If you decide to go forward I would check with a Drs. It is not a very long procedure, little over and hour for one, so there may be a Dr. who would do both with your condition.
A good doctor doesn't like to do both at once since the surgery is high risk with one at a time.
