As a 49-year-old lady who has enjoyed keeping fit all her life, I have endured hip-related problems on and off over the years. However, in the last year or so, the discomfort started to ramp up to a point where I was affected daily. A friend suggested I make contact with Anna Curnow, a local physio. After a meeting with her, she very quickly organised an MRI for me. Within a week the results were in and diagnosed that I had a right hip labral tear. My physio recommended Professor Damian Griffin - I am delighted that she did! After the initial consultation with Professor Griffin, it was decided that I would undertake a right hip arthroscopy. Six weeks later, Professor Griffin performed the procedure, Right hip arthroscopy; labral shrinkage and debridement. Over the next few days, I was expecting some post-op pain, but it never really presented itself. I was handled extremely delicately during the surgery and this was highlighted in my recovery coupled with Professor Griffin's advice of not rushing the recovery. Professor Griffin is a delightful, calming gentleman who genuinely wants the best for you and is a superb surgeon. From start to finish my treatment was excellent. I cannot thank him enough for his expertise and for giving me my smile back. It’s my 50th next year and now I look forward to winter training to enjoy some tough physical events next year to mark my big number!
