During over 50 years in the building industry back pain was never a stranger, osteopaths became good friends. However, a year ago and in my early seventies, pain developed down my left leg making walking extremely difficult; covering 50 metres at a time a real challenge. Following an MRI scan, I was introduced to Mr Rafid Al-Mahfoudh. His critical assessment of my condition led him to propose three treatment options, the last being surgery .His friendly nature and decisive manner built my confidence to the point of my taking the decision to go for surgery. He proposed to cut bone to access my lower back discs L 3, L4 and L5 and relieve pressure on the spinal cords. This delicate surgery was performed on February 22nd this year. I walked out of hospital two days later, without pain! I convalesced for two weeks to let the wound heal and now, 6 weeks later, I am able to walk anywhere.It is so gratifying to be fit and mobile once more and I am so grateful to Mr Al-Mahfoudh for his talent and skills.
