I went to see Paul Trikha with pain in my knee and lower leg. I have severe osteoarthritis in my knee due to an injury and subsequent operation 37 years ago, followed by numerous arthroscopys and an osteotomy 15 years ago. I thought that the plate a screws were causing the problem and that I would needed them removing. After taking x rays Paul Trikha explained the options of having the hardware removed separately, or at the same time as a total knee replacement, which was advised, but was also told the decision was totally up to me. The other options offered to me were pain management, physio and possibly a coitisone injection. I am now on a low dose anti inflammatory, had numerous sessions at activ8 rehab and am walking so much easier and am able to postpone my knee replacement for another few years. I really felt that Paul understood my concerns over having a major knee operation and was happy to give other options available, which have really helped.
