I am 5 weeks post op now. I work in a hospital 12 hour shifts on my feet mostly. I am just wondering how long it actually has taken everyone to get back to work and life that is normal! I know everyone heals different but I constantly find myself googling How long for this ...How long for that with my knee. I just wish I knew when this knee would be functionable again to where I can live my fun life again!

Thanks!

    I just started back after being off for 3 months. Luckily, I am not needing to be on my feet on hard floors for 9 hours like I was before the surgery. If you go back soon, be sure to give yourself some sitting breaks....you will need them.
