BTDT, Charlie.  You can only take just so much Tylenol and other pain killers before those drugs start really effecting how you can function.  Remember that when you finally decide that it's time to do something about it, you have a 6-month waiting period with no cortisone or other miracle drugs before the operation.  The doctor will want you under 300# before operating.  The surgeon doesn't care what what you weigh, but the anesthesiologist does. He's the one that has the concerns about the load on your heart.
