Hey, the same shit happens to me! Mine is from ligaments being way too long and stretched out or something. It has happened to me about 10 times a year since I was four, when it first happened. So I'm probably right at 200 just like you! I've been to a couple doctors who say it's the worst they've seen ever and that I need them fixed.. years ago. I've never had the money to get it done, which totally sucks. I was told at this rate I will have to have both knees replaced well before 40. So yeah, I'm just planning on an early death by nonfunctional legs. But in the hopes I can get them fixed one day, I suppose I should ask a few questions. Did you have surgery on both at the same time? What has your recovery been like? How has it affected your daily life, work, etc.?

Edit: Bonus gifs of how fucked up they are

The iFixit in my town improperly fixed my phone and robbed me blind. From this experience, I hate your company with a burning passion. Should I give y'all another chance? Why?

Thanks for the reply. I live in the US, which is quite unfortunate in regards to healthcare. But if I were to get the surgeries, my next biggest issue would be not being able to work. I'm a line cook now, but I'd have to get a new job and I am not qualified for much else. Hopefully one day I'll be able to sort something out. Anyway, it's encouraging to hear your story, and I'm glad everything is working out well for you. My knees feel happy for your knees! Best wishes with everything!
