Madam Lim
“Before this, I couldn’t stand for long or walk very far, and had difficulty getting in the car as I couldn’t bend my right knee. After the surgery, I don't feel any more pain, which is great! I can now get into the car easily. I couldn’t do any cycling exercises before, but now I can.”
Prior to getting the surgery, I was not able to stand for long periods of time, or walk very far. I also found it difficult to get into the car because I could not bend my left knee. To get in the car, I would have to get in the car first with my right leg, and then lift my left leg into the car. If I were to do otherwise, I would not be able to lift my right leg into the car.
Now, after surgery, I do not feel pain. I can now get into the car easily. Also, before this, I could not do cycling exercises, but now I can.

When Madam Lim came to see me for the first time, she expressed to me that her left leg was in pain, and not only that, her left knee also could not bend. So we ordered an X-ray for her, and through that, we found out that her right knee had severe osteoarthritis.
At that time, I recommended that she get her knee joint replaced if she wanted to walk like before. Madam Lim recovered well after the surgery. In fact, on the first night, she told me it was not painful and she seemed very happy about that.
