fishbiz0 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Does anyone have the approx cost of a knee replacement and the average recovery time. Rehab could be tough on cobble stone roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimplover Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Prolotherapy is a possible alternative. It worked well for me and my neighbor. We were able to avoid surgery. It was less expensive and no downtime or rehab. I would be happy to relate my experience and contacts to save another person a surgery if possible. You are welcome to call me at 766-5510, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevator Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I have no idea about the cost here in Mexico, but in the states I had double knee replacement 10 years ago for about $55,000. I was 58 at the time. I was hitting tennis balls within 8 weeks. But, I had several knee surgeries prior to that and understood that recovery was based on how prepared physically you were going in. and second rehab. If you are severely overweight or have no muscle in the legs to be operated on it is much tougher. I now play golf as much as i wish and hike as far as i wish with no pain.
