I didn't really know what's been wrong with me these last seven years, I had been told my problems with walking and standing upright where due to a lower back problem which I believed and tried to ease the pain and posture problems with ever increasing amounts of pain killers and chiropractic visits and manipulations which never worked but I tried my best to carry on. I let it go on to long, I was walking like some hunched over creature from Planet of the Apes for six long years when I walked into Mr Copes office, a quick xray and an examination later he confirmed that not only did I require a hip replacement but it was that badly worn out I was to go on the list immediately and if I wished to also go on the cancellation list as there was a chance the op could had quicker, I did go on this list and only a few weeks later I had the surgery. I was in hospital for only a few days but felt immediately better than I was before. I'm now two months post op and I feel incredible, after hardly walking at all and barley able to manage to keep my job for literally years and being a total couch potato I'm doing fantastically, I'm now able to walk three miles a night and this is getting longer all the time as my muscle mass gets back to normal after laying on my couch for so many years. Other amazing benefits are my cholesterol is back in the green zone, I've been taken off blood pressure tablets as that's now normalised and I've no need to take pain killers any more, and in just two months I have lost two stones in weight following the NHS diet app plan, its like my body is resetting back to normal after a fault and I have so much energy now. Mr Cope re-examined me and came in for a few chats following surgery when i was in hospital and agian at outpatients six weeks later where he gave me permission to drive agian and gave me more advise on recovery and made my six month appointment. I have nothing but respect for Mr Cope and indeed all the staff at Renacers hospital where I received my NHS hip replacement surgery, he is very easy to talk to and explained the process very well, at all stages I knew what would happen next and always felt help and advice was there if needed. One thing I did read about in the literature but kind of ignored was to get any dental work out of the way pre op, my molar cap has come off and my dentist won't go near me for treatment till I'm six months post op- DOH ! In conclusion the treatment I received from Mr Cope was literally second to none, he is an excellent chap and his work has been literally life changing for me. From AND my family- thank you sir !
