The recovery can vary for many people. A lot of the recovery depends on your disposition before having had surgery as well as how the surgery was done. On average it takes most people about a month to get back to doing as many steps in a day as they were doing before surgery. For many people it takes 3 months though to get to the point where you are mostly recovered. According to patient surveys, it takes about a year to forget you had your knee replaced and feel like you have completely recovered. Best of luck with the rest of your recovery!

The first 6 weeks are the toughest. Usually patients are doing very well by 3-4 months, but maximum recovery can take 6-9 months.

10-12 weeks

It will typically take at least 3 months before you will feel ready to return to work as a truck driver. It could take a little longer depending on specific job demands.

Hi,

It usually takes 8-12 weeks for the total knee replacement to feel normal. The patient can walk with full weight bearing with a walker right after the operation in the same day, The patient will advance to walk with a cane as he tolerates The wound will heal completely in 2 weeks. With the physical therapy, the patient will gain the normal motion in 4-6 weeks. The knee's strength will be normal in 8-12 weeks. You can drive as soon as you can gain good motion of the right knee and when you stop taking pain medication (about 3-4 week).

Recovery after knee replacement goes through various stages. Recovery time depends on preoperative, function, deformity, amount of arthritis, range of motion and associated general health conditions. Average time for recovery after total knee replacement is 6-9 months. Out of work depends on the patient, which might be 3-4 months.
Thanks.
