Are any of us? I have a marginal left knee with age that will no longer bear me carrying extra weight. So it is fine if I do not lift and carry anything over ten to fifteen pounds. Most the time I remember not to. Old injuries from youth. I have to wonder what ten percent more deterioration would cause. I never want to bang that knee again.

That's bout where i am with my left knee. Stairs are a problem. exercising is a problem. swimming even is becomming problematic with it. so i am 62 with good genetic prospects of living into my 90s and if I can get a partial replacement done it seems timely.
