Life After Arthrosamid: Recovery, Aftercare, and What to Expect Long-Term

Introduction What happens after the injection? Here’s how to optimise your results and stay active long-term.

Immediate Recovery Mild swelling or stiffness may occur for a few days. Light walking is encouraged, but avoid heavy activity for 1–2 weeks. Driving is usually safe after 24 hours, depending on comfort.

Aftercare Advice

  • Ice and elevate the knee if sore
  • Avoid high-impact exercise (e.g. running) in the first 2 weeks
  • Follow your surgeon’s rehab plan
  • Maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on the joint
  • Continue any prescribed physiotherapy exercises

Long-Term Outlook Most patients experience gradual improvement over 6–12 weeks. Relief often lasts 2–5 years, depending on activity level and joint condition. Regular check-ups can help monitor your progress.

Conclusion With proper care, Arthrosamid can help you return to an active lifestyle without the need for surgery. Patients often report improved sleep, reduced reliance on medication, and enhanced quality of life.
