We’re delighted to announce that ex-Olympic swimmer, world-renowned broadcaster and former Gladiator, Sharron Davies MBE has joined Contura Orthopaedics as an Ambassador for Arthrosamid®.
“I know I will eventually need a knee replacement, but this treatment could buy me more time and delay having knee replacement surgery.”
Arthrosamid® Ambassador, ex-Olympic swimmer, world-renowned broadcaster and former Gladiator, Sharron Davies MBE, gives an update two years post-treatment:
“It can’t believe it’s been two years since my initial treatment with Arthrosamid® – time has flown by, in part because I’m feeling so great both physically and mentally. Looking back to 2022, I’d been in so much pain and discomfort with my knee osteoarthritis that it was really starting to affect my day-to-day life and get me down.
“I was fortunate enough to experience Arthrosamid®, a cutting-edge, injectable hydrogel treatment when it was new to the UK, and since then it’s been my absolute pleasure to share my pain management journey with so many others in a similar situation. One of the most rewarding parts of being a Brand Ambassador for Arthrosamid® is hearing feedback from people from all walks of life who have explored the treatment. I understand that well over 12,000 people suffering from knee osteoarthritis pain have now been treated worldwide.
“Since my treatment, awareness seems to be ‘snowballing’. This year, I’ve been delighted to appear across TV and radio to help spread the word about new developments in this area of knee osteoarthritis as part of the launch of a new report; “Under Pressure – a report on the State of the Nation’s Knees’.
“As for my situation, two years on, I’m still enjoying reduced pain and improved mobility. Whilst rehabilitation is an ongoing part of the process I’m delighted with the progress I’ve made so far. From struggling to walk longer distances without pain and constantly rubbing my knee – I’ve now reached a point, post-injection, when I’m no longer preoccupied with pain. Separately from my knee osteoarthritis issue, I have had a “clean up” of the knee recently to remove some bone spurs that had broken off. However, it’s amazing what Arthrosamid® is still enabling me to do. I train 4 times a week (including squat jumps!). I feel I’ve returned to my former active lifestyle; walking the dogs, strength and conditioning training in the gym and cycling.
“This year has been extremely busy for me both personally and professionally. One of the highlights was the Paris Olympics – an absolute honour, but certainly hard work! Following two weeks of presenting poolside, I clocked up many miles walking around and exploring the city. Something that would have been inconceivable two years ago.
“I know I will eventually need a knee replacement, but this treatment could buy me more time and delay having knee replacement surgery.”
