Miss Sohier El-Neil 2018-02-20 Person 5 5 0

I saw Miss Elneil for the first time in September 2017. I have had pain and ongoing issues for over 8 years by that stage and every time I saw a medical professional I was fobbed off with you are fine it is all in your head or its fibromyalgia. In June 2017 my husband saw an article about Sling the Mesh and read up about it. He came and told me that all the symptoms they discussed were what I was suffering from. My GP was not happy about referring me so my husband, after a bad night of no sleep yet again from the pain told me to go privately. For the first time in 8+ years someone listened to me. Miss Elneil is one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever met. She is listens to you and I mean really listens and takes what you say seriously. I also had to have a translabial scan which yet again I had to pay for but I wanted to see Miss Elneil armed with everything she would need to make the proper diagnosis. I was booked in for 7th November 2017 and when she came to see me later that evening her exact words to me were "I can only imagine the pain you were in every time you sat down". The mesh from my TOT had shrunk and gone really hard and brittle. It had shrunk down into the foramen and every time I moved it rubbed against the obturator nerve and artery. That night for the first time in absolute years I was able to lie down in bed and actually feel my shoulders touch the bed! Miss Elneil is attentive, considerate and very understanding. I personally cannot recommend her more highly. She works tirelessly to help all us mesh injured women all the while being knocked by her peers for doing it. My suggestion is for the government and NHS (especially the NHS) to wake up to the madness that they have created by allowing a substandard device to be implanted into people and start training medical professionals to remove them. Miss Elneil is but human after all and cannot keep up the pace. The amount of women needing her understanding and expertise is growing daily. I'm lucky I went privately and the aftercare is amazing. Her nurse Mary is a saint. She called me on her day off just to check up on me however I realise that I am very lucky to be able to go private, there are thousands of women out there that can't because they have lost their jobs because of this life destroying operation. If I could bestow Miss Elneil with a Knighthood I would.
