Use advil (ibuprofen) for relief. how long is typical time table for pain/recovery of total knee replacement of both knees?

6-12 weeks: At age 44, you probably do not want knee replacements if you are talking about yourself. Recovery time is in the area of 6-12 weeks.

3 months: The recovery time for bilateral replacement is the same as for a single knee. It takes about 6 weeks to feel better than you did before surgery when walking and 3 months to return to all normal activities. I tell patients that it will be a year before you reach maximal improvement.
