My personal experience with Mr Adam Howard has been a life changing one. I underwent a CERAB procedure at Colchester hospital in January 2023. Before my surgery I was not able to walk any great distance or climb stairs at all. My life had been on hold, incapacitated for 15 years due to the narrowing / stenosis that I had in several places. The impact on my life was truly awful. I can look back and honestly say I had been depressed for more than a decade because of the lack of use of my legs, Mr Howard has given me my life back. Learning to walk again is not like the saying "Once you know how to ride a bike you always know how to ride a bike'' its better, but a conscious effort has to be in play at first so as to not over do things, its quite tiring but just the fact that i can walk unaided and stand alone without wobbling or looking as though i am inebriated is indeed overwhelming. Yes this surgery has to be carefully thought through but, with my experience of having CERAB I can honestly say you will not regret the decision of going ahead with this new pioneering surgery. You will be in very good, capable and caring hands. I thank you Mr Howard from the bottom of my heart as at the age of 56, i didn't think i would be looking forward to and also doing the things i missed so much. Your most grateful patient Loraine Askari
