I had a distal biceps tendon release, debridement and repair performed by Mr Joideep Phadnis after I suffered a biceps tendon partial tear in my right arm, which caused a great deal of pain at times and being my right/dominant arm had caused me to give up on several hobbies and interests which were really important aspects of my life, let alone just day to day living. I wish I had found him sooner! Initially, under the care of another consultant, I was keen to go down the conservative route of rest, and also tried steroid injections, but always after a period relatively pain free, the problem would return. At the 3 year stage I decided I had given it quite long enough to heal, and after some research found my way to Mr Phadnis. He listened to my story (which others had not taken too seriously) talked me through the results of the MRI, my options and the risks very carefully, and not without some trepidation I took the decision to have surgery. Recovery was difficult (not using my dominant arm) especially in the first few weeks, but I am now well into the full recovery period and feeling very optimistic about a future in which I can use my right arm again without pain. I am so grateful!
