Knee replacement
My mother is suggested to go for knee replacement surgery, what is the normal recovery period for the same, and also generally how many time will she need to be visiting the doctor before and after the surgery.
Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.
Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day.
Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day.

The surgery takes only 2-3 days along with the hospital stay and then the Physiotherapy treatment is the most important part which takes almost 3months for regular treatment and exercises to get complete muscle strength +co-ordination +balance+range of motion and the right gait..The requirement to visit a doctor will be almost 3-4 times after the hospital discharge.
