I selected Mr Chana in the hope that my groin/hip pain would be manageable (or improved) without surgery - with a significant phobia of medical facilities. Very quickly he diagnosed significant arthritis (bone on bone) in my left hip which was confirmed within minutes with an x-ray and needed a full hip replacement. Mr Chana was great in reassuring me that although he understood my fears that the surgery these days was very quick with minor disruption to muscles/ nerves etc and that the recovery would be quick and relatively pain free. There was no pressure to have the surgery but once the decision was made I was admitted within 2 weeks. Mr Chana guided me through the process with his great office team as Covid restrictions made things a bit trickier than normal. The Schoen facility and staff were great and combined well with Mr Chana to explain at each stage what was going to happen and field my many questions that put me at ease that I was in good hands. I was out of bed 5 hours after surgery and home within 72 hours. Apart from some discomfort and swelling I can honestly say there was very little pain and managed on Ibuprofen from the time I left hospital. I started physio 2 weeks after discharge and was amazed that everyone I met had similar experiences of being up and about and quickly independent, all much older than me. I came off the crutches at about 4 weeks and at 8 weeks had full mobility back with no discomfort and even forget I've had the surgery sometimes, am now back in the gym on the exercise bike and swimming (no breaststroke I promise Mr Chana!) looking forward to further improvements over the coming months.
