A member asked:
How long is synovectomy recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A couple weeks: This is commonly done arthroscopically and takes about 2-3 weeks for the achiness to settle down. The first week you swell a bit but by day 4-5 the swelling starts to go down if you ice a lot and don't over do it.
