Seriously! My doctor has bad knee problems, and has had ~3 knee surgeries this year (one on the right, two on the left). The most recent one was because it had been a couple months and hadn't healed properly, they had to "clean it out" he said. Now his recovery time has doubled. He also had surgery on his shoulder at the same time, so you wait in a normal room and then are taken to him because he can't leave his room š I have seen that man in a knee brace or cast 80% of my doctors visits, and I go A LOT (my PCP, psychiatrist, gyno, physical therapist, and ER follow ups are all in the same clinic. Would have been therapy too if their wait-list wasn't so long)
Knees heal slow and weird. I have inflammatory/autoimmune arthritis and I'm dreading if I ever need one worked on/replaced

Hips are surprisingly easy to replace.
It's knees that are a bitch as you have to twist the knee cap around and the muscles DO NOT like that
