If the operation is on only one knee, it will take two to four hours. The patient may be given a choice of general, spinal, or epidural anesthesia.

What causes tearfullness after total knee replacement?

Hey, you have just been through a MAJOR surgery! You feel a loss for your old knee, even though it has worn out & we are lucky to have replacement surgery available. Let's face it, this is a life change...the rehab is long & you feel tired after years of pain. Take it a day at a time. The first knee replacement I had, I cried the second night for about a half hour...really over the loss of my real knee. Take care, things do get better & one day you will be so thankful that you were able to have a new knee put in. Blessings!


Can you kneel after a knee replacement?

It's a question of pain, if you can take the pain of the metal digging into you ligament then yes. sometimes, kneeling is impossible due to where the knee replacement is and you cannot bend you leg properly.
