-Quit smoking
-Arrange items in your home to be easily accessible during your recovery
-Have help lined up and understand there's going to be some stress in the coming weeks

Are you wondering if you can avoid knee replacement surgery? We have an answer!

"Knee pain can happen for a variety of reasons and is an early indication that something is happening inside your body that you need to address. Minimizing the stressors that affect your joints can greatly impact your chances of needing total knee replacement surgery. Excessive weight puts more wear and tear on your knees because they bear most of your weight when you're standing. More weight means more stress on the joint, which leads to more damage. Look for exercises that avoid further joint damage, such as swimming, when you're trying to lose weight. Talk to your doctor to determine exercises for your body and condition. You should also stay flexible and keep moving to keep your knees healthy. Increasing strength in your thigh muscles helps to decrease pain in your knees when you're up and moving. When you're up and moving, your knees retain flexibility, which can decrease your chances of needing surgery. Dr. Habib and Dr. Fluhme work with a talented team of sports medicine doctors that will guide you in a plan to keep you moving pain-free."

Are you wondering how long an artificial joint will last? We have an answer!

"This is a question that isn't straightforward or one size fits all. Knee joint replacement surgery success depends on minimizing risk factors for joint failure before the surgery is even performed and individual outcomes will vary. Managing diabetes, having proper nutrition, following a physician-approved exercise plan, and having a healthy BMI are all important factors when talking about successful expectations post-surgery. A recent publication by Dr. Rizk on Aug 2, 2019, found that 90% of modern total knee replacements are still functional 10-15 years after surgery. New technology is constantly being developed for improved function and durability. New materials, surgical techniques, and implants designed with a variety of human conditions in mind continue to improve the longevity of an implant's lifespan."

Are you wondering how much pain you should expect? We have the answer.

"Following total knee replacement surgery, pain levels depend on the person and can vary depending on the condition you were in before you had the surgery. About 90% of patients report a decrease in the pain they were experiencing prior to surgery. Post-surgical pain can be managed with medication. Most patients take some sort of medicine for 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising can last for weeks or months. As your joint continues to heal, stay active through activities like golf or swimming. This will keep the area mobile, strengthen muscles, and support your overall health."
