The cost of therapy will depend on the complexity and duration of the physical or occupational therapy treatments received.

One thing to be mindful of is avoiding a fall. Beyond this, it is extremely unlikely that you will do anything to injure the prosthesis or surgical procedure itself. Muscle soreness after exercise or other activity is not always a bad thing. It often means you challenged the muscle enough to give it a good work out and make it stronger for the next time. However, this soreness should be able to be alleviated with ice or dissipate after an hour or two. If soreness persists into the next day or the knee becomes more swollen, the activity was likely too much or too strenuous. If this occurs, decrease the intensity next time and discuss it with your physical therapist next visit.
This again should be discussed with your physician. Some suggest avoiding a hot tub or soaking in a hot bath for up to a year after surgery. Other physician strictly wait a month or two to avoid the likelihood of the warmth attributing to increased edema and increasing the effects of a blood thinner.
The surgical knee may always appear slightly larger than the other. However, do not be surprised if it takes a full year for the swelling to go away. Also, it is very common that some degree of stiffness will linger for a year. Even if the knee feels loose and mobile, sitting for a period may allow it to tighten up, requiring a couple steps before it loosens again once you get up and move again.
The final decision of when you can drive is up to your physician. Getting back behind the wheel will of course take longer if surgery was on the right leg. However, even if surgery was on the left leg and the right is fully functional, the effects of you medication also need to be considered. Pain medications can affect your response time and awareness while blood thinners leave you more susceptible to heavy bleeding if injury were to occur.
Yet again, this is up to your physician so be sure to clarify it with him or her. Some physician suggest maintaining them for a year, while others want you to do so indefinitely.
