I am a 61-year-old female living in Marina Del Rey, California, and I play tennis and Paddletennis! For the past three months I've not been able to play tennis due to this shooting pain in my lateral posterior compartment of my right knee. I have seen three orthopedics, and each of them recommend knee replacement surgery. My biggest fear is that I will not be able to play as well (4.5 level) or as often as I play now, and I'm also afraid that if I have a knee replacement it won't address the pain in the back of my knee. Tennis is my oxygen… If I can't play I don't know what I'm going to do. Has anybody else had pain in the back of their knee or had a knee replacement due to the pain? Any help would be very much appreciated.
