Short thread on knee osteoarthritis (OA) and total knee replacements (TKR)

Spoiler, OA does NOT always lead to you needing a TKR.

Keep being active, whatever your preferred activity!

If you do end up needing a TKR they can be fantastic and you can return to being active
Knee OA is very common. Approximately 1 in 5 adults >45 y/o in England have knee OA.

Exercise should be a core treatment for knee OA

Try to lose weight

Stop smoking

Discussed pain relief with your GP

Consider an injection

If none of above helping over a reasonable period of time (months not weeks) consider surgery
