Dr. Madhu Chopra: Regaining Mobility with Arthrosamid® and feeling free to Move Fully

“I had unfortunately been suffering from pain in my left knee for a number of years and it was really starting to affect my mobility.  As a doctor, I attend many medical events and speak at a variety of conferences, and of course I continue to see patients in my clinic. The pain and soreness in my knee was certainly troublesome for me when standing for long periods. I appreciate the importance of keeping myself fit and healthy, and the knee pain was holding me back and restricting my day to day activities.

Upon my daughter’s insistence I sought help from an orthopaedic surgeon who told me that the osteoarthritis was not advanced enough to justify a knee replacement. I had in mind to have a less invasive treatment.  On a visit to the UK in the spring of 2023, I visited Mr Suresh Sudula – Musculoskeletal Specialist & Consultant Physiotherapist in MSK Ultrasound & MSK Regenerative Medicine. In presenting the options, on which I was familiar, he told me about a new innovative treatment for knee osteoarthritis called Arthrosamid® to help relieve pain and improve mobility with just a single hydrogel injection. I was impressed by the published medical data and by progress reports of thousands of patients treated in the UK and across the world. Mr Sudula performed an MRI to check my eligibility for treatment and I decided to proceed. The actual injection took place as part of a short consultation (only around 30 minutes) and it’s great that you are actually able to drive home that day. The recovery was short and easy – rest and gentle walking to keep the joint mobile. After some weeks, I started to notice improvements in my movements and after 3 months my pain was significantly  reduced. Now, after nearly 2 years, I continue to feel the benefit, with less pain, better sleep and greater movement. I’m so glad I chose to have Arthrosamid®. I would recommend it for sure!

I love spending time with my family and especially with my beautiful granddaughter, Malti. Since having the Arthrosamid® injection, I’m much more mobile and feel free to move fully, which is wonderful when babysitting! And, I’m happy thinking about how I can now keep up with her as she grows up, especially as she has now started running around.”
