Anonymous – 27/11/2023. The Spire Hospital (Private Patient)

I had been in extreme pain for over 6 months suffering from spinal stenosis and slipped disc previously diagnosed by another surgeon who recommended painkillers. There was no improvement and it was affecting my quality of life as even walking was agony. My physio recommended I see Mr Quraishi who after looking at the scan very quickly recommended surgery as my only option. I felt relieved there was some light at the end of the tunnel and my surgery took place a few weeks later. The pain from the spinal stenosis disappeared immediately. I still experienced residual nerve pain in my legs for quite a few weeks but that is now fading and with the help of physiotherapy I am back to near normal 4 months post op. I am very grateful to Mr Quraishi for giving me my quality of life back after a very dismal time.
