Mr Cope did my second knee replacement in March. It was great to get it done before lockdown but it meant no in person physio appointment and no 6 week check up. Thankfully, as I'd already gone through the process with my first knee two years ago, I knew what I needed to do and did the walking and physio to get a good outcome. It was probably a bit of a slower process as I couldn't do all the normal stuff that I could do last time but that was a small price to pay for a fully working and pain free knee. I did experience some lower back problems, most likely as a result of walking very differently and, while it didn't stop me walking, it did impact my ability to get on with normal life and get back to my beloved garden. Luckily a local physiotherapist was doing video call appointments and then face to face sessions and it turns out it was purely muscular and not anything more serious. By the time I saw Mr Cope for my 6 month follow up both knee and back were fine but he had said he would examine me if the problem hadn't resolved by then. I always feel that Mr Cope treats me as a person and not just a patient or a knee to fix. I have run out of knees for Mr Cope to replace but he would be my first choice if I needed a hip replacement in the future.
