How Painful Is A Total Knee Replacement

How painful is a total knee replacement? The truth is... it depends. Most clients say that a knee replacement is more painful than a hip replacement. Most people say the pain is most intense during the first 3-5 days then it normalizes and starts to improve. If your pain is increasing in intensity you must contact your surgeon to determine if there may be a post surgical complication or a new combination of medication that will better help you manage your pain.
