I waited and waited until I could scarely move. Post-op was painful, long, and PT difficult.

I wouldn’t wait.

This article, and the comments, will probably get me to face the inevitable sooner rather than later. I can walk a level surface just fine. Climbing stairs (or a ladder) is a different story.

I’m expecting mine within a month. Have initial visit next week. Left knee hurts all the time & can hardly walk. EXCITED!
