How Long Does It Take To “fully” Recover From Total Knee Replacement Surgery?

From what I’ve observed it varies with each individual and other factors such as their weight, how active they were before surgery, if only one knee’s done at a time or it’s a bilateral (both knees at same time) surgery, and lastly but most important how determined you are to keep up with the physical therapy even on your own when you’ve finished your prescribed physical therapy.
Personally I had the bilateral knee replacement, am overweight, and only moderately active, so it took about 1 year for my complete recovery. The most encouraging thing to remember is that the pain one experiences after the surgery and pushing onward in your physical therapy is only temporary and will end, unlike the pain before the surgery.
Best wishes to you, or who ever you’re inquiring for.

I Am Having A Total Knee Replacement On Tuesday. Does Anyone Have Any Tips For Recovery Or Words Of Advice?

My dad had both of his done. After you wake up they will put your leg on a machine that works the knee up and down. You will still be laying down. They will ask you to walk with in 3 days or less after every thing is going along well. I think it’s a good thing. Your knee will be stronger in the near future. You should be glad about having it done. I know there is some fear in surgery period. You’ll be up and about in no time. Listen to what the doctor tells you to do. Sadly I may have to have the same thing done someday, but I am glad that the doctors are good at what they do.

Well that comes down to your mental determination and positive attitude. My 93 year grandmother had a full knee replacement at age 89 and was pretty much back to normal within eight weeks. Granted her doctor was completely blown away of the rate of recovery for her. She surpassed pro athletes under his care in the speed of recovery. Keep moving no matter how much it hurts you. That is truly the secret to fast recovery. My grandmother was relentless in getting back on her feet. She did not let the pain stop her even when she screamed from the pain.

Does A Total Knee Replacement Have An Effect On Rheumatoid Arthritis?

atjone — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:47:25 +0000

What do you mean by that? My husband had a total knee replacement in 1994, and then was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, the replacement didn’t cause the arthritis, his dr just didn’t do the necessary blood test to diagnose it before the surgery. He still has his artificial knee, and has been doing chemotherapy for 7 or 8 years. He continued working until 2003, then went on disability.
