Toby Carless – Testimonial

I saw Mr Pal in June 2019 suffering from severe neuropathic pain in my right leg and lower back and unable to walk more than 5m. He diagnosed a L5/S1 disc prolapse and explained my options very clearly, with the necessary caution of the risks involved and the likely prognosis. I was made to feel confident that surgery was the correct course of action and that Mr Pal was the best man for the job.

He performed a microdiscectomy and the pain disappeared immediately. After physiotherapy I was able to resume cycling, swimming and skiing and am very pleased with the outcome. 18 months later I have had no further back pain and my only issue is occasional slight numbness in the toes of my right foot which I was warned about.
