Last year my left shoulder was hurting quite a bit and I had only 40-50% range of movement with little strength. Mr Nick Little explained that it was due osteoarthritis and suggested a total joint replacement. He said this would give me about 80% range with much improved strength. He was very friendly and took his time to explain all. The facility in Epsom Hospital is called SWLEOC, (South west London Elective Orthopaedic Centre), it is state-of-the art and the medical staff are great - they all took the time to explain the various procedures and I had total confidence in both the surgeon Nick and his team. The operation was in August, I stayed in overnight, all went very well. I've had follow-up appointments with X-rays, of course. I went for physiotherapy at Leatherhead hospital. This was essential to rebuild my shoulder strength, the physiotherapist was very encouraging and every couple of months gave me different exercises to do at home - these have been key to the great improvement I've experienced. This week (about 6 months on from the op) I saw Nick for an assessment and he was very pleased and discharged me. I reckon I've got close to 100% range of movement and about 80% of my strength back, I can swim properly again and do gardening & jobs around the house. It's been a terrific success! I continue with the daily exercises as they're part of my routine now, I feel I'll get close to 100% of my old strength back. Thank you Nick and the dedicated and caring medical staff at Epsom and Leatherhead Hospitals! Clive
