Knee Replacement
My Mother aged 61 has arthritis issue. One of the doctor has recommended for a knee relacement rather than laser surgery. Just wanted to check if there is any other option rather than a knee replacement and also how much time normally it takes to heal if supposed knee replacement is done.
