I can now reach my feet again, I am taking regular exercise and enjoying my new-found mobility.

I was initially a somewhat reluctant patient as I wasn’t in a great deal of pain but, at 55 years of age, I could no longer reach my own feet and wanted to do something about it! Mr. Ishaque identified two herniated discs which my body was protecting with stiffened back muscles and he recommended Dorsal root ganglion blocks to ease the inflammation and allow me to exercise.
His explanations of the diagnosis and suggested treatment were thorough and easy to understand. His enthusiasm for his work was infectious and gave me the confidence to say yes to the treatment. I am so glad I did! I was in and out of hospital the same day and the team that looked after me were all really lovely.
I can now reach my feet again, I am taking regular exercise and enjoying my new-found mobility.
If you are reading this and your back problem is limiting your quality of life then I would urge you to see Mr. Ishaque and give him a chance to help you.
