At the age of 20 I had my first operation on my shoulder - it was the worst decision of my life and has caused significant problems since. I had a second operation at 22 to try and undo some of the damage of the first - it didn't have as good results as I had hoped. At 33, with an increasing level of pain in my shoulder, I sought further advice about how to improve my range of motion and reduce pain. On my first appointment with Mr Patel I was still very sceptical about using a further operation. Following a range of scans and consultations Mr Patel provided a clear and balanced account of the different options, outlining benefits and risks of each. His approach enabled me to make an informed decision about what would be the best route for me at this point in my life and I chose to undergo surgery. Following the operation rehabilitation has been a slow and relatively painful experience. But this is to be expected. Ultimately, the level of pain has decreased and the range of motion in a most planes of movement has increased. I still have a long way to go to achieve the improvements that I know (and Mr Patel has advised) will be possible. From my experience, I would highly recommend Mr Patel.
