Knee replacement UK patient testimonial at three months after surgery

Good to hear from you. I’m an impatient person so progress will never seem fast enough for me! However my osteopath tells me she is amazed at my progress and sees me as far ahead of what she has come to expect with all the others she has worked with. I am walking well, and stamina is improving, but still has a long way to go. My wife says that I was walking like an old man in January and early feb., but now I don’t look like one. I am much better at climbing up stairs and am improving at climbing down them, and take most opportunities so to do. I’m up to about 135 degrees of bend, or slightly more, and I think both legs have evened out now.

Today I have been to the Gymn again (Mon, Wed, & Fri), and during the various journeys to and from (and then back to London Bridge for other reasons) have climbed down all the stairs into Canada Water station twice (i.e. 2 x 33 steps), and back up them again, up and down one flight of moving escalator, and then various stairs and steps elsewhere. Down is still more of a problem, and causes pain on the front outside of the knee, below the level of the knee-cap, in both legs but worse in the right. This persists for some time in walking after finishing the steps but goes eventually.

My osteopath says that the muscle you identified ( I still can’t remember the name – VMO – VOM ?)is now very well bulked up and has said to stop using the electro stimulation on it. She is very impressed with the difference that the stimulation has made in conjunction with gymn exercise.

British great grand dad's charity swim after Knee replacement in India

Eighty year old British Great grand dad Ken Austin isn’t one to give up on life easily. Despite his age and incapacitation of being an above knee amputee on one side, he was determined enough to opt for a knee replacement in the other knee when it developed arthritis. He chose to travel to India rather than risk his life in an NHS hospital where doctors amputated his right thigh after surgeons severed an artery during a revision surgery. He underwent a successful left total knee replacement at Dr. Venkatachalam’s knee surgery centre last year. A few months later he recovered enough strength and flexibility. Despite being an above knee amputee due to a failed TKR in the NHS, Ken undertook a charity swim to raise money for orphaned children in Tamil-nadu India.

Knee surgery India at the Madras Joint replacement centre salutes Ken for his bravery and courage.

Here Ken is seen relaxing with friends in Greece after his swim.
