How can you accurately expect what you can do after joint replacement surgery?
To have an accurate expectation of what you will be able to do after joint replacement surgery, talk to your doctor and the rest of your health care team about your specific health.
The less active you were able to be before surgery, the harder it can be to build back your physical activity level after surgery, Premier Physician Network (PPN) physicians say.
By doing some physical therapy before surgery and continuing with physical therapy after surgery, you can build up your muscle strength.
The increased muscle strength can help you get your endurance back to what it was a few years before surgery.
Talk to your doctor for more information about how to accurately expect what you can do after joint replacement surgery.
