@graj0 .....have just posted another message about the knee replacement on another thread.....
My partner is about five years older than yourself and like you has arthritis in his knee and i am guessing has similar symptoms of reduced cartilage ...the xray also showed some additional boney growth within the knee according to the GP which I believe is a symptom of the problem and the reason for the proposed knee replacement.
Just wondered, if you didn't mind me asking, what criteria you have been given for your knee operation to go ahead and what advice you have been given in terms of your diabetes and how this will affect the operation and recovery.
Good luck with your appointment on Monday.....hope it goes well
