Spinal Decompression Surgery

The decision to have surgery was the best one, and I thank Mr Lovell enormously for a successful outcome as I am now 11 weeks post-op and pain-free from day one post-op.

Dee's spinal decompression surgery

"My whole experience with Mr Lovell and the team at the Nuffield has been excellent experienced a problem with my lumber spine caused by stenosis for many years so the decision to undergo spinal decompression surgery was significant. Mr Lovell took time to explain options for treatment, never pressing for a decision and answering my many questions carefully and fully. The decision to have surgery was the best one and I thank him enormously for a successful outcome as I am now 11 weeks post-op and pain-free from day one post op.
The Nuffield hospital staff were kind and considerate. Nothing was too much trouble, and the nursing staff in particular were very attentive during my two-day stay. Just as attentive were the outpatient nurses who kept an eye on my wound until it was completely healed
Physiotherapy started 5 weeks post-op and has been excellent building my confidence with graded exercises. Still a way to go but walking 3 plus miles each day and am about to restart Pilates which I haven’t been able to do for some years. Thank you to physio Kristof.
Finally, a big thank you to Paddy from the online Medbelle team who has kept in touch with me every few weeks from pre-op He’s answered questions and been supportive throughout. Thank you Paddy"
