Mr Andrew Carrothers 2021-05-27 Person 5 5 0

I first saw Dr Carrothers in Autumn 2020 when I was in severe pain in my right knee, so much so that my lifestyle of running a family, dogs and enjoying regular exercise was being very much curtailed due to the level of pain I was experiencing. At the age of 42, I was despairing that that was now my life. Dr Carrothers operated on my knee to repair a torn miniscus and flush out the arthritis and generally tidy up my worn out knee. However, my knee remained very swollen and very sore and I feared that the only remaining option was a replacement. After consultation with Dr Carrothers, we agreed to try a PRP injection in March 2021. The results have been tremendous. Two months on, I can now walk my (very largeand boisterous) dogs for an unlimited time over rough farmland, up hills, in slippery conditions without any pain at all: this would have been impossible before my treatment. I can do yoga again (listening to any signs of pain and missing out moves which particularly stress the knee joints), I can run after my children and I can dance around my kitchen again! I am delighted. Rather than facing a prosthetic knee, I now plan to monitor my knee and hopefully control it with future PRP injections when needed. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Dr Carrothers and PRP injections.
