No need to worry for a knee surgery. Its results are quite good. What we give you a pain free knee.Initially you need to do trmendous Exercises and Physiotherapy as advised to you from time to time. Also you will be able to stand on third day usually with support and walk normally without support in 1 month. But the main cooperation from your side is Knee mobilization, exercises and physio.
