Mr Zameer Shah 2015-11-03 Person 5 5 0

I was diagnosed with arthritis in my hip at the age of 34. I was devastated. The pain got steadily worse until I requested a hip replacement at the age of 41. I was referred to my first consultant and did not feel comfortable. It was nothing this consultant did wrong, I just was very nervous about the whole procedure, especially being so young. When I met with Mr Shah, all my worries faded away. He was great at the consultations before the operation, during my hospital stay and the aftercare. I was walking the day after the operation and climbing stairs the day after that. I was badly bruised and very sore for about 3 weeks following the op, but after that, it has been amazing. My op was 12 months ago. Mr Shah angled the cut in such a way that the scar is hardly visible when wearing a swimming costume. The scar is very neat and isn't that noticeable. The replacement itself went so well, I sometimes forget that I have had my hip replaced. I forgot what it felt like to walk normally with no limp or pain. It has been life changing. Mr Shah himself was great. I wanted to see the bone that he had removed, that had caused me such anguish. He advised this was unusual but was happy to oblige. I do not have any critism to make of his skills or care. He has improved my life beyond my expectations.
