I had chronic sciatica in my legs and that led to pain in my lower back, where my NHS doctor wouldn’t send me for a scan as he felt didn’t warrant it. At this time I could hardly walk or stand. Luckily for me, I found Mr Al-Mahfoudh, who from the moment he looked at the issue said I had a back issue and needed a scan to prove it. So I agreed to a scan, where it showed a disc sticking out in my back hence the pain, as the disc was rubbing on the nerves, so the issue was identified. This led to me being laid up at home as couldn’t even sit down by this time, so was laid out flat in chronic pain which resulted in 4.5 months off work. This in time led to operation to fix my back which was under the NHS choose and book scheme where Mr Al-Mahfoudh performed the operation in the private Brighton hospital but under the NHS. From the moment I woke up, the pain had gone and I became fully mobile again. The only issue has been getting my core strength back after about 4/5 months of laying flat on my back. I can’t thank him enough for being so pleasant, informative and he does what it says on the tin, there is hardly a scar to show where the operation was. 100% professional, quality surgeon, and can’t recommend him enough. There are costs involved but I have my life back after the worst year of my life in 2018, 2019 has gone back to a normal life, thanks to Mr Al-Mahfoudh.
