How can i speed up the healing process after knee surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't: If you strengthen the knee muscles before the procedure you will recover a little faster good nutrition is important do not smoke mostly, healing is a natural process and can't be accelerated athletes who take steroids do heal faster but that is a whole new can of worms.
