You Don't Have to Live With Knee Pain

No matter what your age, a problem with the knee joint may keep you from activities you enjoy. Pain and stiffness may even limit the daily tasks you can do. Your knee pain may be caused by any one of the following:

• An injury that did not heal properly;
• A chronic illness;
• Wear and tear from years of constant use

You use your knee every time you take a step. Because of this, living with a worn or inured knee joint can be painful and frustrating. Even simple activities may cause pain.

You don't have to live with knee pain. In many cases an Orthopedic Surgeon can replace the damaged knee joint. The surgery is safe and effective. For many people, having a total knee replacement means a return to pain-free movement.

Total knee replacement almost always reduces joint pain. During this surgery, your damaged knee joint is replaced in an artificial joint called prosthesis.
After a total knee replacement, you can look forward to moving more easily. Most people gain all of the following benefits:

• Stops or greatly reduces joint pain. Even the pain from the surgery should go away within weeks.
• Increases leg strength. Without knee pain, you'll be able to use your legs more. This will build up your muscles.
• Improves your quality of life by allowing you to do daily tasks and low-impact activities in comfort.
• Provides years of easier movement. Most total knee replacements last for many years.
