Default Knee replacements for the "young"

My wife is well under age 50. She has been suffering mightily with a knee problem. The knee replacement "expert" said that she has one that is the knee of a 70 yr. old and in addition has some spurs in it. Then he followed up with the assertion that she was too young to get it replaced and would have to wait around 13 years before that was a good idea, and could not do anything about the spurs without making it worse. Others in the medical profession confirmed the assertion regarding age.

I say bullocks, and she should have it done. Why not enjoy life now and bank on medical advancements in the future which will allow modification or another replacement? If mama ain't happy nobody's happy, so… We are going to another guy who has done a couple or three on my dad next.

What have y'all done? I know there have got to be numerous folks here who have had this done etc.
