Congratulations on taking the first step towards a successful knee replacement surgery! As you recover, it's essential to follow these aftercare instructions.

For the first few days, make sure to rest and elevate your leg to reduce swelling. You can also apply ice packs to the affected area for 15-20 minutes, three to four times a day.

Now, let's talk about your medication schedule. Your doctor has prescribed a specific regimen to manage your pain and prevent complications.

Make sure to take your medications exactly as directed, and don't skip any doses.

For pain management, you'll be taking acetaminophen every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. If you need something stronger, your doctor may prescribe oxycodone, just be sure to follow the instructions carefully.

To reduce inflammation and promote healing, you'll be taking ibuprofen twice a day. And to prevent blood clots, you'll be taking aspirin once a day.

In addition to managing your medication, it's crucial to attend your follow-up physical therapy sessions. These sessions will help you regain strength and mobility in your knee.

Your knee replacement journey doesn't end after surgery. With proper care and rehabilitation, you'll be back to your normal activities in no time. Stay committed, and you'll be enjoying life to the fullest soon,
