Joint replacement can help you with your mobility, can relieve your pain, and there is usually a rapid recovery from the surgery. If you're weighing the benefits and risks, pain relief is definitely one benefit that will likely result from joint replacement therapy. Joint replacement is a surgery, so it does carry similar risks to other surgeries. Your new joint may not work as well as you hope or what others reported after they had their surgery. After your joint therapy, you should have a rehabilitation routine that you're prescribed. In order to get the most out of the surgery, you should follow this as closely as you can. If you have any issues, talk to your healthcare practitioner who might be able to modify it or help you get to the point in which you're able to do everything on the schedule.
