If your joint damage is severe, causes pain, and makes it hard for you to move, your doctor may recommend joint replacement surgery. When you talk about it, you may want to ask:

  • What are the pros and cons?
  • What are the possible complications?
  • How long will it take to recover?
  • Will I need physical therapy?
  • How long will the joint last?
