How long does it take to recover from a knee replacement?

my grandad has had a knee replacement for about ten weeks now and hes still in a lot of pain, when can he expect this pain to go and should he still be experiencing pain this long after the operation. Thank you for your answers :-p

unfortunately it can sometimes take months to recover. The bone was worked on and anytime there is work on a bone it takes a long time for the pain to stop but your grandfather is around that point where it should start to lessen. If there is heat being produced around the knee that would be a sign that another appointment should be made with the orthopedist. Work with the physical therapist and have them explain to your grandfather what is going on. They should be able to give most of the answers you are seeking until the orthopedist is seen.
