The ongoing (and shifting) aches/pains are easily explained away as age-induced (which, to be fair, tracks). My main opinion about the whole process is if you/your doc, etc think it's gonna be necessary eventually, get it sooner than later. Because I think younger patients rehab quicker (and maybe return to higher fitness level than olds).

Rust isn't a problem? Do you have to carry around an oil can like the Tin Man?

That's a big drawback, though. Is it supposed to stop short of death?
No. Rust never sleeps.
I woulda thought that went without saying...
