Mr Paul Trikha

Written by a NHS patient at St Peter's Hospital

I have had issues with my Knee on and off from an accident I sustained riding. I was recommended to Paul Trikha via a friend of mine who had, had surgery with him. He listened to my issues and examined where he thought the issue was coming from. A scan confirmed he was spot on with his diagnosis. I chose non operative treatment in the form of a steroid injection and physio. I am now back in the saddle. Brilliant !

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.

I took my daughter to see Paul who gave advice on her anterior knee pain - she was thoroughly assessed and was advised by Mr Trikha that a majority of the issues will be resolved when she finishes growing. He advised that a bio mechanical assessment by a podiatrist would be good and insoles with lateral wedging would help. My Trikha took time to explain to my daughter what the issues were and took away any anxiety she had with her natural biomechanics

I injured my right knee last year after a fall and tore my knee crucial ligament and a ‘root’ tear which I think was causing the pain. I was in a lot of pain but did not want surgery. I saw Paul for a second opinion having seen a doctor who told me the only option was surgery. Mr Trikha was so kind and explained the different ways to help and he organised a brace for me which was amazing and also some physiotherapy who also reassured me that surgery wasn’t the only way to treat me. I’m doing so much better now and use the brace for exercise. Really pleased that I have my life back - thank you so much
