I was referred to Mr Elnikety at Bath Clinic in September 2017 with shoulder pain and stiffness and after examination and a follow-up MRI scan, the suspected diagnosis of subacromial impingement with mild AC joint arthritis was confirmed. Mr Elnikety explained the various options for treatment - physiotherapy, steroid injection or surgical intervention. I decided to try the steroid injection route, which did relieve the pain almost completely, for a period of 3 weeks. After this, on Mr Elnikety's advice, I decided to pursue the physiotherapy route, with his assurance that an arthroscopic procedure was still an option if there was no marked improvement after a few months. My shoulder did get better to the point that I was eventually able to attend the gym and return to regular swimming sessions and other hobbies I had been forced to put on hold. During the final assessment with Mr Elnikety, I was offered a further appointment 4 months later in case the issue flared-up again, as has happened in the past, which I found very reassuring at the time. Thankfully, I have had no further problems in this respect and was therefore discharged from the clinic. From the initial consultation, right through to my last appointment, Mr Elnikety took the time to listen, appreciate my concerns and always offered clear explanations and helpful advice. He has a very kind, genuine and understanding manner and I felt thoroughly reassured under his care. Thank you Mr Elnikety and also to Rachael!
