 Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone recommend a sports physio and/or knee specialist doctor in Sheffield? Need some diagnosis and advice to get through next week's ski trip and longer term plan for repair. Need to bypass the GP gateway standard response of "what do you expect at your age" and "if it hurts stop doing it"
Thanks

After my knee op the sports physio I saw was helpful but not much help to get back to skiing, !!
the surgeon was superb... but he's in Huddersfield . After surgery he proposed plenty of stuff to help, but if you mention them on here the "medically trained " trolls come out ..not worth the slanging match with em I'm afraid

I don't see any slanging match either or anyone claiming to be medically trained either !!!

@On the rocks, I think the guys at Northern General have a good reputation and I've read of a Sports Injury centre up there as well - Sheffield Centre of Sports Medicine or something similar. Don't you have to be referred though these days if using the NHS route any way? I'm not familiar with the system any more as I've been out of the UK for too long.

@Jonathan Bell, but we know you are  and he seems to be implying that others are claiming to be when they aren't.

+ 1 for the Northern General in Sheffield (Orthopedic dept). I was treated there recently following a (non ski related accident). Had surgery following a tibia plateau fracture. Surgeon (Mr Mills) was excellent and outcome so far is good.

Hallamshire physiotherapy has a good reputation

You know it makes sense.

+1 for the sports injury clinic, if you can get in to see them. They've fixed a lot of my mates with hockey injuries. But I think they'll only deal with new injuries, not management of existing ones.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

It would be very unusual for a clinic to turn away existing injuries
