Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hi from your history it's understood that u underwent joint replacement surgery on left side & if it's done properly after 3 months of physiotherapy under supervision, you can walk absolutely normal, but as I see you underwent surgery on right knee for fracture which takes 6 weeks of proper rest & then good physiotherapy training with partial weight bearing with support of Walker, it may take 3 months time to walk properly. You don't sit cross legged position & squatting, don't use staircase, walk with help of Walker, keep Limb elevation, take some pain killer in the form of Ultracet, dolo650, take calcium. Send me your x rays for further study & let me know how u felt after doing this.
