Detailed Answer:
Hello

I have studied your case,
Around 8 weeks time is sufficient to recover from synovectomy.

Modalities such as heat and cold are used to control pain and swelling
Physiotherapist may guide gentle range of motion and strengthening exercises in order to preserve joint mobility and function.

Physiotherapy with ultrasound, wax bath and Tens will help you.
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C].
