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.
