I saw Mr Trikha in Clinic when i started to get knee pain out of the blue. I was really worried that I would have to have surgery and that my knee would stop me doing my job properly. ~In clinic Mr Trikha was really kind and gave my knee a thorough examination and I was really glad he seemed to be taking my worry seriously. Mr Trikha ordered for me to have an MRI scan which I had a couple of weeks later and he saw me in clinic again with the result. Unfortunately it did seem as if I had developed arthritis and he talked it all through with me in relation to where the arthritis was and how that was making the pain in my knee when I walked. Mr Trikha advised me all about exercise and lifestyle activities etc and how an exercise bike would be a good thing for me to have and use regularly during the week. we discussed a swimming plan that would help me to strengthen my muscles to support my knee joint, - all these things were to help me manage my pain and to avoid me having to have any surgery for as long as possible. I was also given a knee brace which I have used when walking distances and I use it whenever the pain gets worse. This exercise plan and the brace made a big difference to me and my pain got better and much more manageable. I now have been discharged from Mr Trikha's clinic as my knee is almost completely better unless I walk too far, too fast, up hills etc. I am so pleased to have had this help and support as this whole episode had upset me thinking I was getting old and starting to need joint replacement surgery. I would and have recommended Mr Trikha to anyone with knee issues for his help.
