First get Ur Knee joint MRI. If you are suffering from 10 years, I think now ur knee joint degenerated. According to the MRI report we need to decide. Which is better for you know!
Long standing pains distrub the body alignment. It's very important to take accurate action! (it should not distrub the other joints, betterto go for surgery)
