"Even shit like knee surgery has a significantly high regret rate. I know a few people who’ve needed replacements and they all absolutely regret it, my mom can barely walk on that leg anymore."

So your mom shouldn't have gotten knee surgery either? WTF logic is this?

with knee replacement surgery, surgery is a last resort if someone is in constant pain and things like PT and injections don't help. Then you have 1/3 chance the surgery helps, 1/3 it does nothing, and 1/3 you get even worse pain. So 1/3 regret it. Have to roll the dice.

Most regret is due to lack of affirmation from bigoted, knee surgery-phobic Trump supporters.
