I had it about 15 years ago. I was back home the same day of the operation. Didn't take that long. Of course it depends on what more damage you have if any. Eight weeks is about what it took me to get back to walking again. I was told it takes along time. Because it is a joint and joints take time to heal. Due to the constant movement.

I have not had any problems with pain.But sometimes I do get a little pain that goes away. Not often though. I have bone cancer so that is where most of my pain comes from.

The operation is not that bad and like I said you should be back home the same day. He will most likely give you a crutch to use. So use it. I was told to move my leg every day as much as I could to keep the knee from going stiff. Just don't over do it. You may end up with a slight limp. But at our age that seems to be normal. Nothing to be afraid of. Have it done and then take it easy until you heal.

He will most likely give you a scrip for some pain killers. For after the pain killers from the operation wears off. Take them TRUST ME. I thought I was a tough guy until the operation meds wore off. Then I found out how wrong I was.
