Question

When should you get a knee replacement surgery for knee osteoarthritis?

Answer 1

It may be time to have knee replacement surgery if you have:

• Severe knee pain that limits your everyday activities
• Moderate or severe knee pain while resting, day or night
• Long-lasting knee inflammation and swelling that doesn’t get better with rest or medications
• A bowing in or out of your leg
• No pain relief from NSAIDs or can't tolerate them
