I have had a total knee joint replacement. I am still getting a fair degree of pain 6 weeks after the procedure. Mr Ellis has examined the area thoroughly and I hope to see him again in about 2 weeks. I am continuing with my exercise regime and hopefully when I see him next it will be with a with some lessening in pain and more normality of the joint.

Response from Mr Simon Ellis
Thank you for writing your review. Your experience following knee replacement of persistent pain at the six week stage is well recognized. Knee replacement continues to improve for a year following surgery usually with a steady improvement in both symptoms and function. Clinical review is important to ensure that there is no underlying concern and once this has been excluded then pushing forward with exercise and physiotherapy is essential to promote ongoing recovery. With kind regards Simon Ellis
