Knee Replacement

Just want to know if any of the claners have had a replacement ?

I had one 3 weeks ago and am at home recovering and my question is how long does it take to be all ok
It just seems to take ages
A little input would be great thanks

My dads had two a year apart,he could hardly walk before his ops,his legs would swell up every day and would find it hard going up stairs and all that..

Now he is digging up the garden ,going for walks and no problems with swollen legs etc..

He says his legs are still sore but least now he can get on with day to day activities.

My dad says official line is 18 months and its fully recovered,but he says after 3 months you will be tap dancing..

Moose I can just advise you to be patient as these operations are extremely costly and if you do not follow the recovery programme as prescribed ,you could do yourself more harm than anything else.I had a hip replacement 3 years ago and till today do not put any weight unnecessarily onto that leg(carrying heavy objects,grocery parcels(much to the wife's anger) etc. Ater 3 months you should be able to move much easier but rest as much as you possibly can .STERKTE!!!!!

Hey Moose, you seem a bit frustrated, hang in there bud....(tu)

thanks for the in put chaps will have to take it day by day iessssh along wait then more time to studie form
thanks
