That sounds accurate. My grandfather had knee surgery a couple or three years ago, I think just a half replacement. Today, three years later, he's undergone another couple surgery's to try to fix whatever's wrong, and he basically can not walk at all, due to the massive pain. The surgery didn't help anything at all; it made the problem worse, and has him basically off his feet, forever.
