knee replacement hospital - #17219

Arush

I am dealing with some serious knee issues and I'm starting to think I might need a knee replacement soon. It's been tough, like I can barely walk after a long day at work, and I just feel like my quality of life has taken a dive. My doc has mentioned a knee replacement hospital but I'm super anxious about the whole process. I mean, the idea of surgery freaks me out. I've heard mixed things about recovery too – like, how long does it actually take to get back on my feet after a knee replacement? Also, what should I expect in terms of pain management post-surgery? A coworker told me their uncle had a knee replacement at a different hospital and it went horribly wrong, and that makes me worry about even picking a knee replacement hospital! I'm wondering if there are any particular things I should look for when choosing a hospital for a knee replacement? Do the facilities matter? Should I be focusing on the surgeon's experience? Any thoughts on how to feel more prepared would be super helpful! I am trying to gather as much info as I can before making any decisions.
