I saw a Mr Heaton At Pilgrim Hospital in early October after he did my steroid injection in my right hip in July and he offered me the option for a total hip replacement due to having been diagnosed with severe advanced degenerative osteoarthritis. The operation was 30th Jan and I was nervous beforehand but he reassured me when he met me on the ward beforehand. The operation was successful and I was discharged home the following evening. The first week was difficult, I can’t lie, and I’m still using 1 stick now 6 weeks later and do find sleeping comfortably a little difficult at the moment but it’s getting better and you have to remember you’ve been through major surgery so you can’t expect it to be pain free straight away but the benefits of getting the new hip definitely outweigh the pain endured beforehand. The staff at the hospital were brilliant, so caring and they took time to listen to me and help me. At some stage I will need to have the other hip done and I certainly hope it will be Mr Heaton who performs my surgery again
