I first saw Mr. Gnanalingham about 5 years ago after suffering terrible back and leg pains for a number of years. I had previously had back surgery many years ago but unfortunately the symptoms returned, only worse this time. I was referred, thankfully, to Mr. Gnanalingham by my GP. Over the course of the last few years and before Covid, I had a number of consultations with Mr. Gnanalingham and received back injections to relieve my pain. Unfortunately the pain freeing effects, although wonderful, never lasted for more than a few months if I was lucky. During the course of one of my consultations, the latest MRI scan results were not available but whilst Mr. Gnanalingham was looking on the computer for them, he found a scan I had had done of my neck at another hospital. I was informed by a doctor at that hospital, I needed no treatment. When Mr. Gnanalingham looked at the scan, he could see a couple of discs in my neck were very close to my spinal cord. He told me without intervention, if I had been in a situation which caused a jolt to my neck, I could have been left paralysed. He arranged to carry out the surgery as soon as possible, which was a great success. This operation caused a delay in having my back surgery but I believe without Mr. Gnanalingham's expertise thankfully seeing what the other doctor missed, my life could have been very different. I finally had my back surgery recently and as it stands at this moment in time, I am without pain in both my back and legs. I even managed to walk for over 2 hours straight, I hadn't been able to manage more than about 10 minutes previously for a very long time. A HUGE thank you to him and his whole team. From the moment I met Mr. Gnanalingham, he was very approachable, ready to listen, easy to chat to and explained everything in a really easy and understandable way. I can say without any embarrassment, that Mr. Gnanalingham has proved to be my Guardian Angel these last few years. I cannot thank him enough for his wonderful care. I would also like to give a shout out to his P.A., Vaani, she has also helped me so much over the years, always willing to help and always keeping in contact.
