Laser surgery is much less invasive than the old types of surgeries that are available. You will recuperate much faster and have less pain. In my case I have had that type of surgery and though I do have some residual pain I am much better off than I was before the surgery. Talk to your surgeon again and ask very pointed questions such as how much increased mobility you will have, will you have less pain afterwards, how much physical therapy and if there is an option where cleaning out around the joint might work just as well as replacement. Only you can make this decision for yourself. I can tell you that it worked for me.
