After suffering with severe hip pain for almost 4 years, being led to many different types of "alternative remedies" by my GP surgery and being told, and put off, by another hip surgeon about all the risks associated with surgery, I finally got to the right person via an MSK Physiotherapist. That right person was Mr Andrew Carrothers! From my first appointment I was made to feel at ease. Mr Carrothers explained the entire process to me, answered all my questions, understood and was sympathetic to my concerns and gave excellent advice. I had 100% confidence in him, as did my fiancé. Mr Carrothers performed my total hip replacement with Robotic Arm Assisted surgery at the end of February 2023 at the Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital. The first 2 days post-surgery were tough, but with a very determined approach I progressed quickly, ensuring I carried out all recommended exercises on a regular basis. After 6 weeks I was pain free and was walking well, mostly un-aided. My recovery was fast and now 6 months post-surgery I totally have my life back. I have recently got married, we honeymooned in Turkey and Greece and there was nothing I couldn't do. A vast contrast to our trip the previous year, where I had to use an electric wheelchair to get about. I cannot thank Mr Carrothers and his team enough for all they have done for me. I had an extremely positive experience. Mr Carrothers is an exceptional surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone needing orthopaedic surgery.
