I just had a Lumbar epidural steroid injection under x ray at the Fitzwilliam hospital.
Whilst not a pleasant experience, everyone in the team did their best to make it as easy, painless and unthreatening as possible. Dr Kandikattu took the time to talk to me before the procedure, during and afterwards. He was very attentive to any pain I was experiencing. An overall positive experience.

Attended Stamford and Rutland Hospital Outpatient Surgery on Tuesday 10th May where Dr Kandikattu performed a course of injections to relieve lower back pain.
I was made comfortable by Dr Kandikattu’s team who checked my blood pressure and oxygen levels before the procedure was performed.
The procedure lasted approx 15-20 minutes and at all times Dr Kandikattu kept me informed of what he was doing and checked that I was comfortable throughout. This was particularly important to me as I have a phobia of needles. Both he and his team were most caring and supportive.
I was provided with ample aftercare information from the nurses on the ward who were equally as attentive.
All round performance - 10 out of 10.

Dr Kandikattu was very caring and thoughtful throughout my procedure. He explains everything and checks in with you before, during and after your treatment. I would highly recommend him.

Profile
Dr Kandikattu is one of the few pain medicine consultants in East Anglia to have gained certification in the Fellowship in Interventional Pain Practice (FIPP). He uses the biopsychosocial model of pain to offer modern assessment and management of his patients’ pain at the Peterborough City & Stamford Hospital, Fitzwilliam and Boston West and Clementine Churchill Hospitals.
“Whilst doing my pain training at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital and Hillingdon Hospital, I was inspired by the pioneers in pain management there and I became keen to learn new techniques.”
“I am pleased to now be able to tutor students studying for their MSc in Regional Anaesthetics at the University of East Anglia and I hope that I can instil some of desire to embrace new and modern pain management techniques in these trainees.”
Dr Kandikattu offers comprehensive pain management to people suffering from chronic pain from their head to their toes including: cancer, musculoskeletal and spinal (neck, chest, lower back, sciatica), neuropathic, complex regional pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic headaches and persistent post-surgical pain.
He performs a full range of pain interventions including epidurals, facet and sacroiliac joint injections, radiofrequency denervations, most of which are image-guided using x-ray or ultrasound guidance. He is also an expert in treating acute pain and inpatient pain management.
He offers outpatient appointments and inpatient care for pain management intervention at the Fitzwilliam and Boston West Hospitals. Patients struggling with chronic post-operative pain may need further pain management to relieve their discomfort and Dr Kandikattu can offer a back-up service for them too.
“I use this holistic model of approach for all my patients, taking all the biological, psychological and, social factors into account as each can impact on a patient’s pain. It’s important to treat patients as a whole.” said Dr Kandikattu.
