I was told that at 35, I needed a 'Tennis Elbow Release' which is the non technical version of what was happening, but I understood this after an explanation from the doctor. I was also told that the operation doesn't benefit everyone, I accepted that too. 2 days after the surgery, the 'ambient' pain I had in my left elbow was gone... I was in less pain 2 days later, than I was the day before the op. After 3 days I stopped taking the painkillers and anti inflammatories... due to some mix up (on my part) with Physio I was seen 8 weeks after the op, not 3 weeks to check my grip, which was the reason for the op, I'd basically lost over 75% grip. Previously I could grip 40lb of pressure and pain started after 10lb. During my post op physio, without any pain whatsoever I gripped 125lb of pressure... on my left hand... that is more than my RIGHT! I'm right handed. I really cannot praise this man enough, he's an absolute legend in my eyes, he did exactly what he told me he would do, remove the tendon from where it was troubling and shave down the bone. Job done, turns out it was exactly what I needed and frankly I'm staggered as to how well its gone. The man is also wonderfully responsive, whilst in his presence I felt like he listened to me 100% despite me being quite verbose. If I could rate the man higher I would, I'm going to press "add" now but really, this guy knows his job inside out and is absolutely bloody fantastic at it, I hate the fact that people have to be reviewed all the time but understand totally why it has to happen. This should serve as a notice though that Mr. Tim Matthews does not need any more reviews during his career, he really is that good and isn't at all the type of doctor that this system is trying to find out about. I just wish every doctor/surgeon was called Tim Matthews ^o^
