Is It Time for a Knee Replacement?
Waiting rarely makes the decision easier. As the joint wears down, the muscles around it weaken and the other knee, the hip, and the back start absorbing what the bad knee cannot.

What Knee Replacement Recovery Actually Looks Like
Every plan is different because every patient is. Yours will be built around your life, not a template.
Day of Surgery
You are up and walking with a walker within a few hours, and you start gentle bending and straightening the same day. Most patients head home the same evening.
First Two Weeks
Motion is the priority. You work on bending and fully straightening the knee every day, trade the walker for a cane as your balance returns, and take short walks often instead of long ones rarely. Many patients are driving again toward the end of this stage.
Weeks Three to Six
Stiffness and swelling keep easing while strength builds back. Most patients are walking without aids, handling stairs normally, and back at work by this point, with higher-impact activity cleared around the eight-week mark.

If a covered complication arises, MyGuarantee will reimburse you for qualified out-of-pocket expenses1 up to $5,000. With MyGuarantee, you can focus on what matters most: your recovery.
