On first meeting Mr Rudol he immediately put me at ease, with his calm and considerate manner. Knowing I was facing major spinal surgery Mr Rudol carefully explained the process and procedures and was happy to answer all of my questions ( of which th ere were many)! Undergoing a wide spinal decompression and spinal fusion from S1 to L4 with the hope of preventing persistent Cauda Equina was for me, the only option going forward. If wanted to avoid losing control of both bladder and bowel and being able to walk without pain and numbness in both legs - surgery was the only hope. My symptoms had become severe by the time I was referred to Mr Rudol and he acted swiftly and calmly whilst expressing the urgency for surgery. I can not recommend Mr Rudol highly enough. He has given me my life back - I no longer have any pain in my back. There is no numbness or pins and needles in my legs and feet. I am thankful to say bladder and bowel are in working order and for the first time in years my legs feel light and I have a spring in my step. If you are considering spinal surgery - believe me when I say I know how terrifying that prospect is - outcomes can be dramatic but in a very positive way., my operation was a complicated procedure that other surgeons were reluctant to deal with. So please if you need to seek help for spinal problems seek Mr Rudol help and advice. He is (in my eyes) a hero and always will be.
