(Treatment review. Handy tip) I had artificial joint replacement surgery.

My mother kept saying her knees were hurting, but as time went on, the pain worsened, and her legs became bow-legged the more she walked.

At first, you said you liked going to the hospital alone and getting injections, and you only felt better then. But then you said you were in pain again and the pain worsened, so I went to the hospital.

Most people develop inflammation in their knee joints as they age, and the joints eventually tear and disappear.

Then, in the end, the bones stick together like that, and I hear that the pain is extremely severe.

My mother also said she has no choice but to get a knee replacement on one side.

I was hospitalized right after the examination.

The surgery went well, but it was not as easy as expected, and because it involved touching the bone, the pain after the surgery was extremely severe for 4-5 days, so you couldn't even eat, and you even had a patch with a narcotic painkiller attached.

You had knee surgery, but you also developed severe bruising all the way to the tips of your toes.

This surgery requires mandatory postoperative rehabilitation.

They say that doing a lot of leg bending and walking exercises helps you return to daily life more quickly, so I made sure to have her do exercises every time I visited.

 

You are now discharged after two weeks, and you are able to walk slowly with crutches.

This time, what I realized is that joints inevitably worsen with age, so the best thing is to manage them as much as possible to avoid surgery. However, if it has to be done due to degenerative reasons, it's better to do it as late as possible.

Tips to protect your knee joints

I think we need to take care of our joints even when we're young.

Taking supplements that are good for joints is also important, but the most crucial thing seems to be doing knee-friendly exercises and wearing functional shoes that reduce impact on the knees during exercise.
