Artificial joint replacement surgery has the advantage that pain almost disappears once the recovery period is over. Some patients describe tingling or numbness at the surgical site afterwards, which is part of the artificial joint adapting to the body. Consistent rehabilitation is needed to reduce these symptoms.
