You need thorough clinical examination with a multidisciplinary team of Orthopedic Surgeon/Neurologists. We need to find out at which neural level is the existing problem Eg. Spinal cord, Peripheral nerve. This should be done ASAP which would improve the chances of recovery.

What to expect 5 months after knee replacement?

Answered on 4th May '22

At 5 months from Total knee replacement surgery we expect our patients to individually continue doing their knee exercises.
Most of our patient can walk more than 8000 steps in a day.
At this point the Knee has usually attained its full range of movement. The Range of movement is Pain free. All patient are off any pain management medications.
Patients continue to take medications and supplementation for other medical conditions and bone strengthening.
A lot of patients report better sugar and blood pressure control as patients sleep quality, ability to exercise and stress reduces drastically.
However the prosthesis will still take some time to feel like a natural knee. People usually take 1.5 to 2 years to forget that they have undergone surgery. Also there is no limitations as such with the new knees except sitting on the floor cross legged or squatting to use an Indian toilet.

We will need details like Age, history of the disease, other medical diseases, and level of activity.

Physical examination at the clinic will help us understand the problem in detail.
