I suppose just like most everything else, a lot depends on who does the procedure. I had a total knee replacement done which resulted in constant pain (worse during P.T.) for nearly a month after and taking nearly a year for the swelling to subside completely. Conversely I have a sister-in-law who had it done a couple of years earlier--same procedure--who had pain for about a week afterwards with things back to normal by the six-month point.
