He wont be back to normal for 6 months —my uncle who is 70 had that done too and he is still one of the best golfers I know

• 6 – 8 weeks, after that you must do exercise regularly.
• 4 weeks is normal…….but you must be faithful to the post tkr regime of exercises they give you. The knee will not heal on its own, you have to build it back up with exercise and you should be going to physical therapy

  I answered this question earlier, so I am not sure if I didn’t give you what you were looking for or if you didn’t get it, but this is what I said…
  Get your knee replaced again. I am sure that you knew you would have to have more than one since you are only in your 40’s. I have had 13 knee surgeries, so I know the kind of pain and discomfort you are in. You have done all the right things and taken all the right steps…you are very proactive and that is the most important thing. Don’t listen to your husband about the pain pills. If you need them to improve the quality of your life, you should take them. He is not in pain. I would tell him to shove it if I were you. If it hurts so bad that you cannot work and have trouble walking, you deserve to have every opportunity to ease that pain. Good luck to you.

  Just be prepared to have more knee surgeries. This is the thing with TKRs-they are more prone to complications than total hips. My opinion is you underwent TKR very early at 40. Lots of luck to you.
