![]() ![]() I had been off work all this time on universal credit (£80 a week).įour different doctors and two consultants said it was a muscle problem. I had been suffering with a trapped nerve in my back for 18 months which meant I could only stand for about an hour and I couldn’t sit in a chair. I would say Don’t suffer in silence do something about it like I did. i was always told use hot and cold packs on your back, it didn’t help much mine was a much more deep rooted problem that need proper intervention I have learnt over the years that very seldom will a therapist ever tell you to get an MRI to see exactly what is going on inside your body it’s left to your own judgement, no amount of alternative therapy would of actually helped my problem if I wanted to get to the root of the problem.It’s your choice to go ahead with treatment or not BUT atleast you will know and have a better understanding of exactly what is causing your problem. If in any doubt I do not mind Mo giving my email to anyone as long as I can help them out of pain. I did not tell anyone of my friends as they really did not know the pain I was in and if I had told them I know they would of discouraged me of going ahead. I am a person that does so much research into things like this as I know the risks aswell as the benefits,I jumped at the opportunity that was given to me for this keyhole surgery. Now I don’t even think about my back as I have zero pain, I sleep well, I feel much better from within, I have no hesitation in recommending Mo Akmal. Mo akmal Is a very professional surgeon it was like talking to a friend no rush at all, didn’t even seem like a surgery, Member of his team calls me three times a week to see how I’m getting on. I came in a taxi in the morning and took a taxi back home in the evening. I was recommended to Mo Akmal, he arranged a much clearer Mri within two hours he took a look and identified the problem the following week after my pre op assessment my keyhole surgery was done within 2 hours, immediately I was pain free I noticed immediately the pain free sensation I was very happy with the outcome, it was so simple, I could walk painfree. Many months, Then the pain returned!!I then decided to live with the unbearable pain as I couldn’t go through all that again, I underwent an open surgery on Nhs to cut away part of the disc that was causing the problem.I was in hospital for 5 days and recovery took During these many years I have undergone Facet joint injections, many appointments with Osteopaths,Chiropractors,Acupuncture,Massages etc etc the list is endless.They would be helpful for a few days and then the pain in my back and weakness in my legs would return.Ģ019 had Mri of lumbar area showed disc bulge trapping nerves in l4/5 areas Many years ago I was breaking some concrete with a very large sledgehammer that’s where all my problems started. It’s been an absolutely amazing experience. Questions regarding the measures may be sent toMy personal experience of The London Spine Unit in Harley Street London and the whole team of surgeon Mo Akmal written two weeks after my Surgery. ![]() ACSS-08 Pre-operative and post-operative Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO's)-Lumbar.ACSS-07 Unplanned Return Visit to the OR-Lumbar.ACSS-06 New Neurological Deficits-Lumbar.ACSS-05 Surgical Site Infection Rates-Lumbar. ![]() ![]() ACSS-04 Pre-operative and post-operative Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO’s)-Cervical.ACSS-03 Unplanned Return Visit to the OR-Cervical.ACSS-02 New Neurological Deficits-Cervical.ACSS-01 Surgical Site Infection Rates-Cervical.The measures are as follows: Cervical ProceduresĪdvanced Certification for Spine Surgery (ACSS) Standardized Performance Measures Eight standardized performance measures were adopted from the ASR for collection in the program.
