“I Just Had to Grin and Bear It – Until I Found Healthcare Abroad”

A Life Put on Hold by Knee Pain

“I used to be really active—I loved running marathons, but my knees had other plans. It got to the point where even driving became nearly impossible. Sleeping was a nightmare. I’d be standing at work, and if I turned too quickly, I’d feel the bones grinding together. The pain was constant.”

“I went to my doctor a few times, and he put me on tablets, but they were only a short-term fix. He said I would be looking at nearly three years waiting. That was a real blow. But then he mentioned Healthcare Abroad and gave me the number. He had another patient who had gone through the process, so he knew a bit about it.”


Making the Call That Changed Everything 💡

“I rang Healthcare Abroad and spoke to Paul. With every call, I felt like I was in good hands. He explained everything so clearly. I have to admit, I was nervous at first, but the way he laid it all out made me feel at ease.Before I knew it, my flights were booked and I was ready to go. It all happened so fast!”


A Seamless Experience From Start to Finish ✈️

“From the moment I arrived, everything just flowed. We were picked up from the airport. I have to mention Kevin, Xavi, and Tony—the drivers—who went above and beyond. They weren’t just drivers; they reassured us, kept us informed, and made the whole experience so much easier.”

“The physios and hospital staff really knew their stuff and were extremely supportive. Their kindness and professionalism were incredible.”


Getting My Life Back 🙌

“Now that I’m recovering, I’m looking forward to picking up my grandkids without pain, driving without struggling, and sleeping without discomfort.”

“For so long, I just put up with the pain, thinking it was my only option. But it wasn’t. If I had known how easy Healthcare Abroad made everything, I would have done this sooner.”

    By the Friday I was down to using one crutch and it felt brilliant,” he recalls. “Eleven days after the operation I didn't need my crutch for short distance walking and only required one crutch for long distance walking. Most importantly, I felt no pain for the first time in six years.

    The other patients who were in Denia all supported each other and the craic there at meal times and by the pool helped keep the spirits up. I definitely have made some great friends on this trip.
