Posted on Tue, 28 Nov 2023
Question: I am having a total replacement in July and I want to know what supplements will help me the most in order to be ready for surgery. Also I am in pain when I walk and get tired real easy. Should I be using a cane? Should I have my knee wrapped in an ace bandage during the daytime.

Brief Answer:
Calcium and multivitamin supplements.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Before a total knee replacement you need to have daily calcium and multivitamin and mineral supplements so that you remain healthy to recover from the surgery soon. Daily exercises are also necessary to keep the range of movement of the knee maximum and to maintain the tone of the muscles. You can use an ace bandage or elastic knee supports during the day time. Mild pain killers can help in reducing day to day pain. Using a cane can also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
