I am a chronic pain specialist working as Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. I have vast experience of more than 20 years as an anaesthetist and specialise in medication management and pain intervention injections and radiofrequency denervation for low back pain, leg pain, neck pain and major joints pain eg knee, hip and shoulder pain.
I am also experienced in pain management of different painful conditions like fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), chronic pain after surgery, nerve pain due to entrapment, sciatica, piriformis syndrome, diabetic neuropathic pain, visceral and pelvic pain due to endometriosis, whiplash injuries, sport injuries, and cancer pain.
I have expertise in doing different pain management intervention procedures like facet joints injections, medial branch block injections, sacroiliac joint injections, epidural steroid injections, trigger point injections with steroids and botulinum toxin for localised pain, genicular nerve injections for knee and hip pain, nerve injections for shoulder pain, injections for groin pain, greater occipital nerve injections for headaches, injections for cancer pain and radiofrequency denervations.
I strongly believe in a holistic approach in pain management and aim at helping to improve functionality and self management.
In addition to my clinical work, I am the deputy lead for learning and a faculty tutor for the faculty of Pain Medicine of Royal College of Anaesthetists. I oversee pain medicine training and teach trainees and other healthcare professionals on different aspects of pain medicine at University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. I also tutor for University of South Wales on the MSc Pain Management course. I am the Lead for the ultrasound guided nerve injections course and honorary lecturer for Cardiff University.
