I waited 25yrs before I did mine after the 1st doc said I needed them. My present doc agreed that I shouldn't have had it done then. He told me to wait until I really needed them.
BUT, don't do like a friend did. He waited too long & ended up NOT being able to have the replacements because he had worn his so bad that he had stress fractures in both bones that take the replacement parts. The doc told him, SORRY we can't replace them now because of these issues.
Do the worse first & then wait for the other, thats what I am doing. Like I said mine was gone & had I not done it I could have & possibly would have ended up like a friend....joe
