Introduction
Just had a Pixee AR-guided knee replacement in Bangalore and wondering what comes next? You’re not alone. Surgery might be over, but recovery is where real healing begins. And with Pixee’s advanced technology giving you a precision-perfect procedure, your next step is following the right recovery path to regain strength, mobility, and confidence—fast.
Here’s a doctor-approved recovery roadmap to help you heal smarter, not harder.
🦵 What Are the Common Symptoms After Pixee Knee Replacement Surgery?
It’s completely normal to experience some post-op effects as your body heals. Here’s what you might feel:
- Swelling around the knee joint
- Mild pain or stiffness, especially during movement
- Bruising or tenderness near the incision
- Muscle fatigue in the thigh or calf
- Limited mobility in the first few days
⚠️ Important: If you notice signs of infection like redness, pus, or fever, consult your doctor immediately.
💥 What Causes Post-Operative Discomfort After Knee Surgery?
Even though Pixee AR ensures accuracy during surgery, recovery still depends on how your body reacts. Some common reasons for discomfort include:
- Tissue healing after surgical incision
- Fluid accumulation around the joint
- Reduced activity leading to stiffness
- Improper postural support during rest
- Skipping physiotherapy or walking routines
The good news? Most of these are temporary—and manageable.
🏥 What Are the Best Recovery Tips After Pixee Knee Surgery?
Dr. Sai Krishna B Naidu recommends the following care essentials to speed up your recovery in Bangalore:
1. Start Walking Early (With Support)
Begin light walking within 24–48 hours with a walker or support. Movement promotes blood flow and reduces stiffness.
2. Follow a Physiotherapy Routine
Work with your physiotherapist on gentle exercises that improve flexibility, joint motion, and muscle strength. Targeted exercises = faster healing.
3. Stick to Pain Management Plan
Take medications as prescribed, and avoid self-medication. Ice packs (15–20 mins at a time) can help reduce swelling naturally.
4. Elevate and Rest Smartly
Keep your leg elevated (pillow under ankle, not knee). Sleep on your back and avoid crossing your legs to maintain proper alignment.
5. Watch Your Diet & Hydration
Eat protein-rich foods like dals, eggs, and paneer. Stay hydrated to support tissue repair and reduce fatigue.
✅ How to Prevent Setbacks After Knee Replacement?
Here’s how to avoid common post-op mistakes:
- Don’t skip follow-up appointments with Dr. Sai Krishna.
- Avoid stairs until you’re cleared by your physio.
- Don’t overdo your exercises—listen to your body.
- Keep the surgical site clean and dry at all times.
- Avoid sitting in low chairs or deep sofas.
🩺 When Should You Consult Dr. Sai Krishna Again?
Reach out immediately if you notice:
- Increasing pain despite medication
- Swelling that doesn’t reduce over time
- Any signs of infection (redness, discharge, or fever)
- Difficulty moving your leg even after a week
- Blood clots symptoms like calf pain or sudden breathlessness
Timely consultations can prevent serious complications.
