After 14 months of considerable shoulder pain and being unable to lift my left arm I was referred to Mr Desai by the Rheumatology Consultant at Grimsby Hospital. Mr. Desai did several tests, scans and agreed to do corrective surgery for a cuff repair. He explained there were two procedures he could offer as I am 73 years old, also outlined each one, then gave me the choice. I decided on a cuff repair to the muscle and tendons and not a replacement shoulder. Going into St. Hugh's Hospital, for the operation was excellent and I was made comfortable with maximum care from Mr. Desai and his team, the Anaesthetist also reassured me and made me feel comfortable and confident I was in good hands, all staff and nurses were 100% excellent and I thank them all very much. The aftercare and physiotherapy has been good and indeed the whole experience was made relatively stress free. The operation has been a success and although it was only 13 weeks ago I have full movement back in my arm and 90% less pain, having to bear in mind I still have some rheumatoid arthritis in shoulder. I have been released from physio and had a final consultation with Mr Desai who was very happy with my progress. Again my thanks go to Mr. Desai and the team at St. Hugh's who were friendly, helpful and professional.
