Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Arthritis surgery takes much time to return to normal because of its complexity and immune related joint problems. Continue physiotherapy and arthritis drugs for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
