"Hip and Knee school"

About: Burnley General Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

If you are going to have a knee or hip replacement i would strongly recommend that you attend the hip and Knee school.There is a nurse there and a physio therapist to answer any questions or concerns that you may have before you have your operation .The class lasts for about an hour and a half and step by step you will be guided through what will happen ,before during and after your operation.There will be questions and answers between all who attend which can be very helpful plus you will get information about the hip or knee joint replacement which ever is relevant to you .I found it really helpful myself and was so glad that I did go ,at least you go into Hospital knowing what to expect .,And you can pick up lots of useful tips from other people and going can help ease your mind .The nurse and physio are extremely helpful and will be able to help with any worries or concerns you may have .So please go you will take home some useful information which will help you have a good recovery from your operation .
