My GP gave me a diagnosis of lumbar stenosis, but also told me that at my age [85] I would have great difficulty in obtaining surgical treatment. Mr Kandasamy saw me within 2 weeks of my GP's referral. He was courteous, enquired about my symptoms, and carefully took me through the MRI scan pictures. In no way was I pressured to have this operation; instead I was warned of the serious risks including stroke and eye damage because of my age. However, my symptoms were worsening, and Mr Kandasamy saw me earlier than planned, and I went ahead with the operation. The operation went well, thanks to the super care by the team at Spire Murrayfield Hospital. Particular thanks to the skilled anaesthetist Dr Liz Steel, the wonderful nurses who spent time making me comfortable on the ward, the physiotherapists Sarah Atkinson and Sam Lockwood. I have had none of the complications, and at 6 weeks I am able to walk 2-3 miles. My grateful thanks to all the team at Spire Murrayfield Hospital - especially to Mr Kandasamy.
