Question
I have been experiencing pain in my legs while walking for a long time, but not when sitting or lying down. In recent years, the pain has appeared spontaneously. Can joint replacement surgery be successful? Where is the best place to have it done?
Answer
The success rate of joint replacement surgery depends on various factors, including the patient’s physical condition, surgical technique, and postoperative care. For older patients, the recovery may be slower, and there may be other adverse effects. The cause of the pain may involve dampness and coldness, environmental factors that can lead to poor tissue blood flow and exacerbate symptoms. It is recommended to keep the environment dry, avoid prolonged exposure to cold environments, and take precautions to keep warm. Additionally, increasing dietary nutrition and appropriately supplementing vitamins can also help alleviate symptoms.
