After knee replacement surgery, you can expect a period of recovery and rehabilitation.

• In the first few weeks after surgery: You will likely experience pain and swelling, and you may need to use crutches or a walker.
• Over time: Your pain and swelling should improve, and you will gradually be able to increase your activity level.
• Full recovery: It may take up to a year to fully recover from a knee replacement surgery.

During the recovery process, you will likely need to attend physical therapy sessions to help you regain strength, flexibility, and mobility.
