I was referred to Mr Fakouri after an MRI scan requested by my GP who diagnosed random and sometimes crippling pains in my legs - mainly my left leg - as neurological in origin. The scan showed compression of my spinal cord by growth of bone in areas lumbar 3 and 4. Mr Fakouri saw me about two months after my scan and was very optimistic that spinal surgery to remove the intruding bone could deal with my problem. After a short delay I opted for surgery on 25th October. Mr Fakouri saw me and my wife the week before the surgery and gave a reassuring, clear, kind explanation of my problem and the ability of the planned operation to deal with it. In the event the surgery was 100% successful. I was delivered to Guy's Hospital at 7 a.m. by my wife and picked up at 7 p.m. with only paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain relief. Within a month, with regular exercise and walking, I was back to normal. Very successful surgery. Thank you.
