Having spent nine months under the care of the NHS, with chronic sciatica, not able to walk longer than 20 minutes and in a wheelchair. I had two spinal injections one in June and the second in November, which did not ease my symptoms. I was told at Christmas by the surgeon that they would not operate on me as it was too intrusive. No discussion, that was their decision and to follow on with physiotherapist. We were very upset by this news. We booked an appointment with Steve Morris, at the Sussex Back pain clinic in Hove, he recommended a second opinion with Mr Al-Mahfoudh. We got an appointment in February and Mr Al-Mahfoudh was very clear that he could help me and give me back some “ life”. Mr Al-Mahfoudh talked us through the procedure and after some more scans were given an operation date of 18th March 2022. I felt no fear as I knew I was safe in his hands. Sussex Nuffield Hospital we’re excellent and the after care wonderful. I am happy to say that I am walking again without pain. I would thoroughly recommend anyone going to see him for advice on spinal problems. I will be forever grateful for the skills of Mr R Al-Mahmoud.
