I was referred to Mr Eyre as I had severe arthritis in my big toe joint. I was prepared to have a fusion in the joint and went along to the consultation fully expecting that this was the route to go down to alleviate my problem. However, this was not the case. Having had a very in depth and informative consultation with Mr Eyre, we decided that the better option would be to have a Cartiva Implant in the toe joint. this would reduce the pain and still give me movement in the joint thus preventing any further pain and damage to my knee and back (As I was walking with a limp which was causing problems in my knee and my back) I had the procedure shortly after and so began the painful recovery. I was in bandages for two weeks. Once the bandages were removed I began intense physiotherapy. Trust me my physio took no prisoners!! There were times when I thought "What have I done!!" At my six weeks consultation, Mr Eyre told me that it would be 12 - 14 weeks before I began to feel the benefit of the procedure and the physiotherapy, and sure enough as if by magic I did! I am 9 months post op now and am able to walk without pain and without a limp. I have no niggles in my knee, and my back has not given me any trouble for months now. I still get a dull ache in the joint now and again if I have overdone things, but no sleepless nights being kept awake by the "toothache" in my toe. I am not saying that the whole experience has been great. I have had up times and down times and times when I wondered if I had made things worse. Coming through the other side now I can see that all the hard work and effort of rehab has been worth every moment. I have a good quality of mobility back now and it has given me a new lease of life. I can run around with my granddaughter and go for days out walking now with no problems Thank you Mr Eyre and should I need the procedure ever doing in my other foot, I will have no hesitation to give you a call
