I had been seeing Dr Jenner for several years for back pain. On this particular occasion I told him that previous treatment had worked well but I had new symptoms after further discussion Dr Jenner advised me to attend A&E immediately for an emergency MRI and urgent consultation with a Neurologist. I was subsequently diagnosed with Cauda Equina and had surgery for this. Without Dr Jenner’s intervention I could have ended up permanently in a wheelchair.

Response from Dr Christopher Jenner
Thank you so much for your positive review! I am so very pleased to hear that the emergency surgery for Cauda Equina was succesful.Cauda equina is a neurosurgical emergency and rapid assesment and definitive surgical treatment is absolutely vital to prevent serious neurological complications. https://gettingitrightfirsttime.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/National-Suspected-Cauda-Equina-Pathway-February-2023-FINAL-V2.pdf Dr Christopher Jenner MB BS FRCA FFPMRCA Consultant in Pain Medicine Director of London Pain Clinic
