Can I Walk For More Than Two Miles After A Knee Replacement Surgery?
I’m a 69 year old male. I walk 4-41/2 miles every morning. My left leg has been causing me pain, more of a constant ache for some time. My left knee was replaced 7 years ago. The ache wakes me up throughout the night. Changing sleeping positions does not help. Thanks

Hello,
Is the pain relieved after surgery? After how much time from surgery pain again started?.
Is there any deformity left after surgery? Are you diabetic? Now get the X-rays done first to know the exact cause of pain. Till then you can take any over the counter pain killer.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Jaideep Gaver, Orthopaedic Surgeon
