Most people think they should wait until they’re older to get a knee replacement—but that can actually do more harm than good.
According to Dr. Omar Perez, waiting often means living with chronic pain and reduced mobility for years. And by the time you finally have surgery, you may not be as active or able to fully enjoy the benefits.
Knee replacement isn’t just about fixing a joint—it’s about getting back to the life you want to live.
If knee pain is limiting your daily activities, it might be worth having the conversation sooner rather than later.
