"Total hip replacement"

About: Barlborough NHS Treatment Centre

First appointment was to assess my condition. X-ray followed with meeting the surgeon and yes a total hip replacement was required. Various tests then carried out to check I was fit enough for surgery.

All carried out with minimum waiting.

The operation.

I had opted for a spinal anaesthetic which I would definitely go for again.

Surgery Thursday am, no complications and left the hospital Saturday afternoon.

Now 7 weeks on and walking pain free, no crutches as all equipment returned a week ago. Took up the offer of extra physio therapy at the hospital and again excellent.

The staff, the medical procedures, the whole experience has been excellent, what more can I say.
