I'm 64 next month, been told that there's a 7+wait to have them done unless you can't walk.

You haven’t got private health care through your employer then? I’d urge anyone who has the option of even discounted private health care to get it.

My right knee has been literally crumbling since a car accident when I was 17. It’s got pins holding it together and creaks and scrapes audibly enough for people to hear it. My left is only marginally better after a dislocation in my 20s. I’m 53 now. So I know a bit about knee pain and my best advice is that you get used to it, and keep active. Sometimes I’m like a 90 year old walking down the stairs for the first time in the morning.

I'll ask the question, but we don't even get sick pay just the statutory sick pay, the wages are a fair bit higher than the engineers working for the companies we contract to, but don't get the benefits they get.

A lady clearly in her 70's left me in her wake in Next walking down the stairs on Thursday, proper cheered me up that did
I've had a couple ops on my right knee and one on my left knee, my work involves kneeling and up and down ladders etc, not so bad when I'm on other work
