What to expect 5 months after knee replacement?

After five months of knee replacement surgery, most patients have a significant reduction in pain and improvement over their pre-surgery status. You may be able to go about your everyday activities more easily, but there will still be some mild discomfort and swelling after long periods of activity. Range of motion should be significantly better, but it may still have been incrementing over time and full recovery often depends on continuous physiotherapy. While you should still avoid high-impact groups, low impact striking activities such as swimming cycling and walking are usually recommended. Recovery time may vary from person to person so it is important that you continue your surgeon’s advice and your physical therapist.’
