Multiple sclerosis frequently asked questions

My name Nick Noble and I came off my motorbike on 15^th September 2014 and broke my tibula, fibula and also had a spinal fracture.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions:

My name Nick Noble and I came off my motorbike on 15^th September 2014 and broke my tibula, fibula and also had a spinal fracture.

I was fitted with an external fixator on my leg to align the bones and then I was told it was just a matter of time.

Being what I am, I needed to speed up my recovery! I did some research on the internet for some sort of alternative treatment/aid and discovered Chedgrave MS Therapy who have a chamber where you can breathe oxygen under pressure which can help heal broken bones.

Although my consultant wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about oxygen therapy he gave me his blessing and I started treatment in the middle of November last year. I have mostly attended the chamber two days a week and after two more appointments with my consultant had the fixator removed on 7^th January 2015 which is fantastic!

I am able to bear weight completely on my leg and feel the treatment was well worth it for speeding up my recovery time.

I suffer with a spinal injury. I broke my neck in 1988, while playing with my children in the garden. Doctors told me any recovery would be very slow and time consuming. I investigated other avenues of therapy to aid my work out program, decompression therapy (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) was suggested and after researching the benefits.

I thought I would try it for my self.

I was amazed at the way it aided my work program. It boosted my energy levels, enabling me to work out longer and breathing. In 2007 I went to South America for a pioneering stem cell operation, since that time my recovery is recorded on Walk In The Right Direction and I can honestly say that if it was not for decompression therapy I would never have been fit or healthy enough to make such a journey for such treatment.

The treatment centre itself is run by a very close and dedicated team, most of whom are volunteers. After treatment they give positive input and support to all who attend, over cup of tea and piece of home made cake.
