Although my knee pain wasn’t considered as far advanced so as to need a replacement op, something that pleases me as I’ve no wish to go under the knife again, the pain has been bad.I discovered Ostenil and had injections in my right knee to ease the condition.It helped but, due to problems in the NHS, I’ve been unable to secure a consistent supply of appointments to make it effective.I found Ramakrishna who gave it to me privately. From our first meeting I was impressed with his manner, his understanding and the care he took.Subsequent injections haven’t worked as well so I decided to try a treatment not available on the NHS.PRP: Platelet Rich Plasma . . . The patient’s blood is withdrawn and spun in a centrifuge to remove the platelets which is then drawn into a syringe and injected back into their body at the site of the pain. I had no other options left to try.I knew that Ram offered this service and booked an appointment on Sept. 19th, 2022.He recommended three appointments, each a couple of weeks apart.It took straight away and lasted about a week.The second injection was given on Oct 5th, 2022 and lasted a little longer.The third one on Oct 24th, 2022.Five + weeks, now.No pains, some minor discomfort but this is caused by other factors.All in all, a success. Ram is a professional in all the levels of professionalism.He listens carefully so he’s able to understand the problem. His clinic in Rugby is clean and welcoming. He is punctual and expects no less from his patients.After careful examination of my knee on my second visit, he decided to draw off fluid before injecting the plasma in. He is monitoring all the time on an ultra-sound machine so as to place the needle into the optimum spot.On the 5th Oct, my second visit, he administered a steroid injection into my wife’s right hip due to consistent, and worsening, pain.Instant relief and she is still pain free.All in all, I have a faith and trust in Ram and his treatments that I have in only one other.Our lives are governed by our health and well-being, and once the pain is taken away we realise just how much it debilitates and affect us. I cannot recommend Ram highly enough.
