After receiving very little support from my NHS Doctors regarding recent falls and pain in my left hip I contacted Rowley Hall hospital where I received a prompt appointment. I immediately had an X Ray followed by a consultation with Mr Malek. He advised I had no cartlidge around my hip joint and gave me 3 options and of the 3 I chose to have a hip replacement. I immediately felt confident that this was the right decision. Mr Malek talked through the procedure and to be honest I could not wait. I had suffered for 7 years with pain and discomfort and for the last 3 years taken medication to ease this. Unfortunately last year this medication no longer worked. I work for prison service and 59 years of age. I was struggling to walk. Simply walking in to work took huge energy levels. I was unable to run anymore or even walk my dogs. It impacted on my social life. If I hadn't had this operation when I did I would have lost my job as I would not have been able to work. I have Grandchildren and this was massively impacting on my time with them. I know the NHS would have said I was too young to have this operation but it has made a massive difference to my life. I am no longer in pain and back in the gym. Granted my other hip will need replacing at some point but for now I have a better quality of life. I had my operation in Nov 23. The care Mr Malek gave me was more than I could have hoped. I have recently been discharged with the very best outcome and would only want Dr Malek to do my other hip when the time comes. The whole procedure and recovery was outstanding. I am extremely grateful to Mr Malek for his expertise giving me my life back. Thank you Mr Malek.
