November 2007

I am a Charge Nurse on a very busy Intensive Care Unit and I lead a busy life which includes regular gym sessions, running twice a week 10 miles a day and doing marshal arts which I am approaching my black belt. Three years ago I injured my knee quite badly and it was obvious that I had done some serious damage on account of the immediate pain and swelling that developed in the joint. My knee was a mess and Mr Pimpalnerkar made no qualms that I would need surgery in the form of an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and repair of a torn cartilage (meniscus). I am now writing 3 years on and am pleased to say that my knee has returned to normal and has enabled me to return to my normal sporting activities.

I am now back at work full time and with regards to my knee I have not looked back at all. I cannot thank Mr Pimpalnerkar enough for the excellent job done to restore my normal life to me.

Through the kind and sympathetic approach to his diagnosis Mr Pimpalnerkar found the problem which had caused me so much grief. He carried out a resurfacing of the shoulder socket and changed my life completely.
