I have bow legs there is almost 12 cm gap between my knees. Doctor advised me to go for high tibial osteotomy.  How many days will it take for me to recover after the surgery ? I'm worried about post surgical pain . For how many days will pain be severe after the surgery. Any methods to manage pain effectively ?

Post operative pain is tolerable. Quantum of pain depends on the pain management team, the medicines and type of anesthesia that they use. For this discuss with the surgeon before operation.
