Answer 1

Jasmine, After knee replacement a person can walk normally. But natural limbs are natural. Our medical science progressed very well in this field. What ever the shortcomings were present in the previous years has now almost eliminated by the doctors. Up to to some extent, it depends upon the doctors that how the surgery is performed, more
efficient or less efficient. Like in the same way normal way of life after surgery, also depends upon the operated person. After surgery a person can walk, can bend knees (which were restricted in the previous years), can go up & down by stairs but can'nt run till now. As a precaution the operated person should avoid to lift heavy luggage, avoid to bend knees, avoid to kick start the vehicles, avoid jerking the knees & finally avoid all the things which give the knees extra load except moving & walking, after all artifical is arifical. My suggestion is that if someone in your family is having severe problems regarding knees then you can replace the knees if the doctor approves. It is good , opersted person can get new life if he/she is having no other problem due to old age. In my family my Papa replaced his both knees 5-6 years ago. He is alright & always remain in high spirits. My Papa operated at PGI Chandigarh. (India). If you need some extra knowledge then you can mail me.

Answer 2

Yep, and the knew artificial knees are better then what we are born with. It takes time to heal after knee replacement so heavy activity is out and you be in physical therapy for a bit and they will go over all the precautions with you. And people with knee replacements walk as normal as anyone.

Answer 3

I surely are not able to reply so far as you're worried however a buddy had knee alternative and she or he claimed it did not paintings BUT she not ever adopted by way of on rehab or tried to make use of the knee as she used to be informed. The moment time she had it performed she did the whole thing she used to be informed to do and she or he will get round rather good now. I think in case you are not able to pastime in view that of your knee that wasting weight could be tremendously complex. Can your health practitioner recommend an pastime hobbies that you just would do to support you? Keep making an attempt and i'm hoping for the high-quality for you.

The price of knee replacement surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the Fly2india4health Consultants .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this Fly2india4health Consultants.


Fly2india4health Consultants is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
