To the majority of the people, the procedure of knee replacement surgery improves mobility, pain relief, and promises a better quality of life. The reports suggest that knee replacement surgery lasts for more than 15 years. You can generally carry on with most of your daily activities such as light housekeeping and shopping after three to six years of surgery. After three weeks of surgery, driving is also possible to operate the accelerator and brakes by having sufficient muscle control. After recovery, a patient can do various low-impact activities such as swimming, biking, golfing, or walking. You must avoid doing higher impact activities such as jogging and skiing. [3]
