Mr James Bourne 2019-09-19 Person 5 5 0

My name is Stella Woods I saw Mr Bourne at the Chorley clinic. I am a lady in her seventies and been suffering with my back for quite some time, when I had the great opportunity to see Mr Bourne,( what a lucky day that was ) Mr Bourne really took the time to listen to me and I was so great full that he had an idea where the pain was coming from he then sent me for an MRI scan in which his diagnosis was right I had a Bulging Disc in other words the L3/4 disc was what was giving me all the pain. I then was admitted for surgery on the 5 /09/2019 Mr Bourne came to see me and explained what he was about to do, he made me feel so calm in fact all the staff who was under Mr Bourne were fantastic, I couldn’t have wished for anything better due to the circumstances. The day after I was seeing Physio team who told me what to do and not to do, apart from being sore after the operation, which can be expected, they then made sure that I was okay to go home and off I went. After Nine days, I was to see Mr Bourne again over at Chorley hospital, I had an X-ray to see if every thing was in order, then went to see Mr Bourne ( my hero ) he explained what he did and also showed me my X-ray ( it was amazing what he has achieved, he went on to say ‘’ that he had put a titanium cage with a substance within it and that it would then fuse the disc in my back’’ I honestly cannot believe that all this time I have been in pain then within two weeks the only pain I am experiencing is the slight surgery pain. He is honestly my hero and all I can say is anyone going through this pain which I have encountered over quite some time, is not to be afraid especially if you see Mr Bourne. My follow up with him is in Three months. Although I am at the age I am, he has give me more years in which I now look forward to playing with my 5 month old grandchild. Thank you Mr Bourne.
