Doctors Advice…. Knee Replacement Help??????!!!!!!!!!!!?????????…

i am a 38 year old female… MRI report shows
Chondromalacia patella
medial meniscal degeneration
Can someone tell me if this qualifies for a knee replacement? I am in so much pain every day.
If i do qualify what is the best method of knee replacement to use? or should i wait until things improve.
I tried cortizone shots, physical theropy and several medications and nothing helps

My Partial Knee Replacement I Had 8 Weeks Ago Is Still Causing Considerable Pain On Walking.any Advice?

The operation seemed a success at first although i had difficulty with pain control.After three weeks the pain on walking got worse although the exrays did not show anythig wrong. I am now having to use crutches and a wheelchair as it is so bad.the surgeon is going to do an exploritory operation in a months time.As I have gone private I feel this is a long time to wait as apart from the pain I am woried about causing any more damage while using it. Has anyone any advice?
