[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 2580433, member: 5485"] I had bad knees like a lot of fellow drivers, and sore wrists and elbows over time as well. I considered surgery but was close to leaving and I'm not a big believer in cutting up my body unless left without a choice. I am surrounded by 70/80/90 year olds in my home neighborhood who have had knee and hip replacements, some have even had them redone. No one seems to be happy with them long term, and none of them had a job like I did, most were shop owners or had a desk job. I decided to skip surgery and let my body heal itself over time, and that has worked out well for me. I can now just limit my physical activity and my body let's me know if I've pushed beyond it's limits. My joints are all pain free and I have good flexibility with zero painkillers. If you are considering surgery understand you may be setting yourself up for follow ups later in retirement. That said, several of the younger set at UPS had shoulder, wrist and knee surgery and we're quite happy with their results. Time will tell if they remain so. [/QUOTE]
