I am to have double knee replacement in july. I have no reservations after going through so much pain. I really need to know how much time it will take to get my life back. I mean 2 days in the hospital and 5 days rehab. Then the process begins. Is there a smething I should be aware of during the healing process?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Healing after hip replacement may 2-3 months to gain your normal walk.You should be aware of the risk of infection following surgery.Take antibiotic medication as prescribed by doctor and start rehabilitation as advised to regain your strength.Also take proper diet rich in vitamins and minerals,protein like egg,milk,meat,fish, Leafy vegetables, fruits etc. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
