I had my first total hip replacement at a relatively young age, at the Conquest under the care of Mr. Khalid Malik at the end of October 2023. He talked me through the procedure and answered any questions i had. I was admitted and settled in. I didn't have to wait long before going down for the operation. Once awake (after a spinal and sedation) i realised the arthritic pain had disappeared almost straight away and just left me with the healing discomfort. I was on my feet really quickly afterwards and by 6 weeks was walking unaided. It made such a difference to my daily life. So you can imagine how thrilled i was getting an appointment at 2 weeks notice for my other THR in June 2024 only 7 months after the first. This time it was at Sussex Premier Health. Again the care was fantastic from both Mr. Malik and the team. This time i felt so good afterwards that i was in work meetings via Teams from my hospital room. Within 2 weeks i was walking totally unaided and at 4 back at work and driving. Cheesy as it sounds, and this is what i told Mr. Malik today at my final appointment, this has been truly life changing. To do things and then suddenly stop and think 'wow i couldn't do this before' i have absolutely no pain and my range of movement is back to what it was before i was diagnosed. In the best possible way, i hope to not have to meet Mr. Malik again as he did the most outstanding job, however...... if i ever need new knees he will most definitely be the surgeon i would choose.
