Hi, guys. I have a question here. If you are over age 65 with osteoarthritis in your in knee, do you drive? I read an article is impressive. Over 20% Americans over 65 don't drive. How about people with OA?

I drove before my knee replacement, and I drive since it was done. I think there are many reasons seniors don't drive. Macular degeneration, glaucoma, and memory problems probably prevent as many people as mobility issues.

I don't drive when my feet are in a flare. The pressure of my shoes hurt me something terrible.
