At age 68 I developed pain in my left ankle over two years ago and an x-ray confirmed that I had arthritis in that joint describing advanced degenerative changes to my ankle. A course of Physiotherapy involving exercises provided some help but I was continuing to experience pain and discomfort when walking any distance and even getting up stairs. Having put off considering Steroid injections as a treatment by the NHS last year I contacted the Joint Care Clinic in Oadby recently and spoke to Ramakrishna and made an appointment for Assessment. My contact with Ramakrishna was a really positive experience my ankle joint was examined using ultrasound the problem area identified and following a thorough discussion a targeted injection of Cortisone and anaesthetic was given. I would have no hesitation in consulting Ramakrishna and the Clinic again in the future.
