I had a total right hip Superpath replacement at The Chase Nuffield Warwickshire on 15th November and I am very pleased with the outcome and the speed with which I am recovering. I had a spinal anaesthetic, after consultation with the Anaethatist, which proved a good choice as I was fully asleep (after sedation) for the operation, and afterwards was awake and very alert without the normal post general anaesthetic side effects. I was able to get out of bed and start walking with a walking frame the following morning, and soon using crutches. I was discharged on the 2nd day after Mr Faisal had visited me, reviewed an x-ray of the new hip, and the Physio team were happy I could walk up and down stairs. Since discharge I have made sure I took my painkillers as prescribed (really necessary to enable me to get active again), followed the Physio recommended exercises, and taken daily walks, extending the distance each day. After 16 days I am able walk 1.5 Kms (slowly) and the only pain I have is in the Hamstrings on the operated leg which are improving every day. This appears to be normal and will resolve itself (with exercise) in 6-8 weeks. The treatment and care I received from Mr Faisal and his team, as well as the nursing staff at the Nuffield, has been first class. The accommodation and food were also very good and helped me through what could have been a traumatic experience. I have had my first follow up consultation with Mr Faisal, saw the X-rays taken of the new hip in situation, and the wound is healing well with only a small scar. I look forward to my follow up Physio in a few days time. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Faisal for hip replacement, and the Superpath method which certainly has speeded up my recovery.
