The 12 weeks of your knee replacement recovery period are very important. Committing to a plan and encouraging yourself to do as much as possible each day will help you heal faster. Rehabilitation begins right after you wake up from surgery.
When you have arthritis, the amount of inflammation you experience can be affected by many factors—including your diet. Foods high in sugar, fat, sodium, or simple carbs can cause inflammation that may worsen your arthritis symptoms.

Hip replacement surgery (hip arthroplasty) involves removing a damaged or diseased hip joint and replacing it with an artificial implant. This may be made from plastic, metal, and ceramic parts.
For patients with symptomatic, radiographic, moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis or osteonecrosis of the hip or knee, total joint arthroplasty (TJA) should not be delayed in order to pursue additional nonoperative treatments
