I would say that any joint of the body can reach a point when it can get very painful indeed. And this is usually just before a replacement is considered. It is difficult to appreciate how debilitating and painful a joint can get until after it has been replaced if that was the only way to fix it. I for instance had an elbow replaced and never fully understood just how painful it was until after I was able to start using it properly again. So I would say it depends largely on each individual situation.
