Top 5 Mistakes After Knee Replacement

It's important to note that while knee replacement surgery can significantly improve mobility and reduce pain, there are certain mistakes that patients should avoid during the recovery process. Here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid after knee replacement:

1. Overexertion: One of the most common mistakes patients make after knee replacement surgery is overexerting themselves. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding physical activity and avoid putting too much strain on your new knee.

2. Skipping Physical Therapy: Physical therapy plays a crucial role in the recovery process after knee replacement surgery. Skipping or neglecting your physical therapy sessions can hinder your progress and delay your recovery.

3. Ignoring Pain or Swelling: While some discomfort is normal after knee replacement surgery, persistent pain or swelling could indicate a problem. It's important to promptly report any unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider.

4. Not Following Medication Instructions: It's important to take your medications as prescribed by your doctor, including pain medication and antibiotics. Failure to do so can lead to complications and slow down your recovery.

5. Neglecting Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider are essential for monitoring your progress and addressing any concerns. Neglecting these appointments can compromise your recovery.
