I'm curious about the post-operative care methods for artificial joint surgery due to degenerative osteoarthritis.

Degenerative arthritis, which commonly occurs in people over 65 years old, is greatly affected by atmospheric pressure, humidity, and temperature.
These days, as the temperature drops, I hear that more patients are visiting the hospital due to knee pain.
Degenerative joint disease is a condition where damage occurs to the cartilage and meniscus that make up the joint, leading to inflammation and pain.
The more frequently a use occurs, the more likely knee osteoarthritis can develop, and in middle-aged or older individuals, if the joint swells and hurts without any specific injury, degenerative osteoarthritis should be suspected.
My biological mother is in this situation.
When I experienced pain due to worn knee cartilage, I would go to the orthopedic clinic, get acupuncture and physical therapy, and my symptoms would improve, allowing me to get through a few months well. When the pain returned, I would visit the hospital again for treatment.
This winter, the pain has become especially severe and walking has become very uncomfortable, so I think it's time for surgery. I want to go to a hospital that specializes in knee joint replacement surgery to get a proper examination and discuss the timing of the surgery. My younger sibling and I went together to a hospital in Yeosu today to get checked.
They say I need to have surgery ㅠㅠㅠ
It seems you have scheduled a surgery for mid-February.
I'm curious about the post-operative care methods for artificial joint surgery due to degenerative osteoarthritis.
After spending some time hospitalized at the hospital where I previously had surgery, I returned home after work.
I am also curious whether additional hospitalization is possible at a hospital near my house.
Since my mother has to stay home alone, I am very worried even after the surgery.
And I am curious whether pain improves significantly after artificial joint surgery and if some level of pain remains even after the surgery.
I was healthy, but as I got older, I had to undergo disc surgery twice,ㅠㅠ
This time, I had to undergo knee joint replacement surgery, and it makes me sad.
