My doctor, an orthopedic surgeon, advised total knee replacement surgery for both knees. He told me that the knee implants alone would cost $3,000 each. That was a year ago. I can't have the surgery because I do not have the money for the implants, the professional fee for the procedure, hospitalization and post-operation therapy.
