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.

Knee Replacement, How Long Does Rehab Average If Going In Facility?

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.

My Acl Knee Replacement Is Now 10 Years Old….how Long Should It Last?

I had my Anterior Cruciate ligament completly renewed back in May ‘96.
One of the first ever done by Mr (Dr) John Fairclough.
I think it’s now stretched and is giving me knee instability.
ie dislocations which bloody hurt…!!
Obviously no excercise can help as it’s an artificial ligamemt.
Question really is should it have lasted forever?
I paid £5000 for the last operation and there is no way I could afford this again!
Also doubt the NHS would operate on an ex. private operation?
Any ideas please?

I Had A Knee Replacement Op Two Weeks Ago How Long Will It Be Before I Can Reduce Taking Pain Killers?

If the knee replacement was 2 weeks ago you should be fully mobile. You should only need to occasionally take a mild painkiller such as paracetamol, perhaps at night or if you have had more exercise. Your new knee joint should also allow you a full range of movement. If you are still getting pain quite often or if your knee is not moving as it should you should go back to your doctor to get it checked over. Good luck.
