I had firstly a arthroscopy done by Mr Wijeratna after a frozen shoulder and unable to have injections due to an allergy. This went well and he explained everything that I was seeing on the screen, although he did say that it would only last perhaps six months as I had problems with the ball of the shoulder. It actually lasted a year and a half but unfortunately I was back in pain again. On scans it was revealed that my socket was actually twisted by quite a few degrees. Mr Wijeratna consulted other specialists on how to proceed and it was decided to replace the ball joint only of my shoulder. This went ahead in may 2019 and the after care was excellent, however I fell in july of that year and my shoulder was so painful and I couldn't move it to the proper range. It was decided another operation was needed to release it. This went ahead as soon as possible . I cant believe the magic he worked. I only have one scar which is now hardly noticeable and with Physio and hard work my shoulder is almost perfect with full range of movements. The after care given by Mr Wijeratna and his team is second to none and if I have any queries all I have to do is ask. If you are in pain with your shoulder make an appointment to see him I cant praise him highly enough. He is friendly, approachable and a brilliant surgeon.

Response from Mr Malin Wijeratna

We have certainly had an interesting journey together! I'm glad that your shoulder is now performing as well as you want it to and it just shows that patients will reap the rewards if they do their physiotherapy diligently and work hard!
