Prof Quraishi first diagnosed that I had two bulging discs in my neck in early 2019 at BMI The Park hospital. From that point, he clearly explained the options that were open to me but never pushed me towards one more than the other - any treatment was totally my choice. After receiving a series of physiotherapy treatment, I was scanned again and reassessed where it was realised that the discs had not reduced and were now unlikely to improve further. I did still then go on to have two separate nerve-block injections, always discussed and supported by Prof Quraishi before I reached the point where I felt surgery was necessary. Prof Quraishi agreed and set the process in motion but still advising me that I could change my mind if I decided not to go ahead. When a provisional date for surgery at The Park was later discovered not to be possible, he transferred me to The Spire Nottingham where I underwent the procedure to remove the two discs in April 2022. By this point, I had moved away from the Nottingham area but because of the trust I had built with Prof Quraishi, my husband and I made the two hour journey so that I could have this surgery conducted by him.
