Having suffered for over a year with right upper lateral thigh pain I decided to contact Bupa physioLine on the 29.8.23. I was assessed and and referred to a musculoskeletal consultant urgently because as well as suffering with pain I was also suffering from extreme health anxiety. I looked online for a musculoskeletal consultant and decided to go with Dr Rosenbloom (sports and exercise medicine consultant)having read his profile, a team doctor for Tottenham Hotspur football club, I knew I would be in good hands. I saw Dr Rosenbloom on the 30.8.23 and as soon as he started asking me about my issue I knew he was going to be someone extremely caring and knowledgeable. I was literally in tears and he made me feel so at ease, he asked me so many relevant questions and did a thorough and I mean thorough examination of all my lower half movements. After the examination he went through a few diagnoses that could be causing the pain and explained fully what they could be, but he said only an MRI could confirm what was or was not going on. He mentioned the pain may be coming from the lower back or pinched nerve etc but an MRI would confirm this. Again when he was talking to me I was in tears and again was extremely professional and told me not to worry, he said he was here to worry and not me. He showed me on the internet and explained what may be happening as regards my pain, I mentioned I was about to go to a family destination wedding and I just wanted all this cleared asap and he was extremely obliging, with in a day he got me booked in for an MRI and within a few days I was seen with the results on the 6.9.23. He showed me the MRI pictures and said it’s the best outcome it could have been with no pain from lower back, no pinched nerve so it must be more a muscular problem. The way he explained the few little problems I did have was amazing and as a 60 year old it was normal to have the problems I did have. The best treatment he recommended was physiotherapy to strengthen my back and core and pain killers if pain was really bad. He took time to show the physiotherapist he recommended and that if I ever needed him again he was always there to help and guide and he was only an email away …….What an amazing and incredible consultant, definitely definitely would recommend for any musculoskeletal issues. Many, many thanks Dr Rosenbloom for all your support and guidance and taking care of me, your knowledge, professionalism and caring attitude was second to none…… You’re amazing!!!
