Rob Kelly – Testimonial

I am 59 years old. I was extremely active and was fit and well until last year.

I began to get pain in my upper back and also down my left arm. There was no one event or trauma which caused this so far as I am aware. I had attended an osteopath for several months without any real change. By the time I contacted Mr Pal I was unable to hold my head up straight and unable to lie down - I was sleeping sat in a chair. Mr Pal saw me within a week and my operation was after 5 weeks (the Christmas break was in this 5 week period). I woke from the operation with no pain at all in my left arm - the pain had gone.

I still have numbness in 2 fingers - but no pain.

The physio at Nuffield from Laurence Wharmby has been fantastic and now, some 18 weeks post operation I am returning to most normal activities (but still avoiding impact and heavy lifting).

Mr Pal explained clearly what the procedure was and explained clearly what the risks were.

He has changed my life - if you have a spine problem go to Mr Pal - do not hesitate. He is fantastic.
