It will be money very well spent. The physios up at the JW clinic are dear but are specialists for knee recovery. If you can't afford them then I'll try to find out where people I know went to.You need to be assesed for your start point before anyone can give you good and safe information.

So nothing they tried worked and I only found today there is actually no ligament there!Did you go private for yours? If so, how much because I've been quoted 'around four grand' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of friends have. Some with Mr Webb, and one on the NHS. The guy who had it done on the NHS actually had his done at a private hospital as part of the waiting list iniative. One friend is currently on the waiting list and it's about 4 months BUT you have to push your GP to get you signed up with a consultant appointment and then be extra nice to the consultant and his secretary who will have an affect on the time.
