After leaving school I knew I wanted to see the world so decided to pursue a career in the travel industry, eventually spending over 20 years working in Revenue Management for various companies. In 2008 I took a 3 month career break and travelled round the world starting in New England, USA and finishing in Dubai, UAE. In 2015 I met my husband and moved to Doncaster, and more recently we have bought a 250 year old converted stone windmill which we have renovated ourselves. Any free time I have I enjoy spending time exploring the local countryside with my husband and dog, and taking holidays & weekends away.

See what our Patients say about us Testimonials See more Verified Customer Nikki I have been meaning to email you and Paul to tell you that I have now had 2 skiing holidays since buying my knee brace in December. I wanted to say thank you for your help in getting me back on skis following my ACL rupture repair. A big thank you has to go to Paul for reconstructing my knee. I remember my first consultation with Paul in March 2022 when we debated whether to go ahead with the operation or to ‘wait and see’. On reflection that was a small decision that has reaped big benefits in my life. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to Paul. I am so grateful for his expertise. For the record, I had no issues with my knee at all. Fingers crossed that continues! Regards Verified Patient Hi, I just wanted to send you a proper thank you message for what you've done for me. Probably could have said this when I saw you but I'm far better with writing this stuff than wanging on in person! When I first came to see you last year, it was off the back of several bad years for me physically and consequently mentally, I am a tough nut (Queensland upbringing lol) but I was very close to broken. I don't think I can really express how grateful I am that you helped me when everything else was a solid wall of s***e and I couldn't get help elsewhere. You didn't just fix my knee, you gave me hope, and that had been thin on the ground for quite a while. Anyway thank you for taking a chance on a fat Aussie, thank you for Britknee (yes I named the new knee lol), thank you for being northern enough for my nervy husband to trust (his words) and THANK YOU for helping me get my life back. Hopefully I'll be back this year for Liam Kneeson (I've already named the second knee!!) All the best to you sir Verified Patient Fantastic doctor I would highly recommend. I was unsure of which way I wanted to go with surgery Dr Abiddin gave me all the advice and guidance needed to enable me to make the right choice for me. The surgery went to plan and Dr Abiddin ensured I received the right care along my road to recovery. Verified Patient A great experiance from the first consultation onwards. Mr Wilkinson made sure I understood everything and his team made me feel confortable and reassured at all times. Mr Wilkinson showed great confidence in his work and I am very please with the outcome. Thank you. Verified Patient After being referred to Coriel I was immediately put at ease after my first call with the Practice Managers Cathy and Nikki. They are an absolute pleasure and nothing is too much trouble... yes they are professional which you would expect at this level, but they are real people... kind, caring, with a genuine interest to help - I cannot praise them enough. Even when I had trouble finding where to park in the dark and the location of the practice, I was met in the car park with a smile and ready to greet and guide me in. My face to face meeting with Mr. Morell was in the same manner... instantly friendly. He listened and I felt at complete ease with him, a real professional and made the appointment enjoyable! I actually enjoyed visiting somewhere for my ill health!! I have no worries or concerns at all whilst I wait for my operation... I feel 100% better I cannot thank the Coriel Group enough for my journey so far! Verified Patient I experienced significant difficulties with my left knee following a trampolining accident. Long-term symptoms included my knee 'giving way unpredictably, and 'shooting pains' down either sides of my knee. My father, a GP, recommended I meet with Mr Haslam as he is well known as "the knee guy". Before sesing Mr Haslam, nearly three months after my injury, had lost total confidence in my knee, which impacted on my quality of life significantly. For example, I was unable to run, swim, and kneel. I couldn't even walk safely in high heels, or play actively with my children. After my examination, Mr Haslam spent considerable time explaining my MRI results and the damage to me knee clearly to me. I had fally torn my Anterior Cruciate Ligament, and had damaged my lateral and medial meniscus. Mr Haslam helped me to consider all of my options carefully, for example, whether to have an operation or not, and the long-term advantages and disadvantages of each of these choices. After deciding to have my operation, Mr Haslam ensured I was well informed of all of the details and post operative recovery expectations. believe my operation was carried out with great skill, compassion and care. My ACL was repaired with a hamstring graft, and my medial and lateral meniscus was sutured. I was quite concerned about the amount of scaring I might have following the operation; however this has been minimal, thanks to the brilliant surgical skills of Mr Haslam. I believe my post operative care was excellent; both Mr Haslam and the physiotherapy team at Doncaster Royal Infirmary were extremely supportive and caning. I feel I received excellent treatment and care and would recommend Mr Haslam and his surgical team to anyone with a similar injury. Verified Customer I can't praise and thank Mr Dan Morell enough for all the care and first-class treatment he has given me throughout my wrist procedure. His expertise and friendly attitude shines through, putting you totally at ease. Also, thank you to the Pratice Managers who are extreamly helpful and super efficient. I would highly recommend the Coriel Orthopaedic Group. Verified Patient I would like to place on record my appreciation for the treatment given to my grandson by Coriel Orthopaedic Group. Thank you to Mr Haslam for his clinical expertise and all at Coriel for the help and support given throughout the process. The operation was performed at Kinvara Hospital and the experiance was exceptional. All the staff were very professional and supportive from arrival to departure. Once again, many thanks to all. Tom Bamford The operation and recovery back to the sport I do has been a massive success, I couldn't be happier. The recovery did take a long time but was well worth it. Mr Haslam has saved my knee and I'm happy to be back playing sport. Verified Patient Mr Wilkinson was kind, courteous and thorough when I met him. Verified Patient I found Mr Thiagarajah confidently knowledgeable, quick and pofessionally effective with good patient communication. I would consult him again should the need arise.

Achilles tendinosis is a chronic condition of irritation and inflammation of the Achilles tendon. It is commonly caused by a sports injury.

This injury can happen during … Recover® Achilles Tendinosis See more RECOVER® ACHILLES TENDINOSIS Achilles tendinosis is a chronic condition of irritation and inflammation of the Achilles tendon. It is commonly caused by a sports injury. Professional and weekend athletes can suffer from an Achilles tendinosis, but it is also a common overuse injury in people who are not involved in sport at all. This injury can happen during a strong contraction of the tendon, like when running or sprinting. Also when landing on the ground after a jump, you can force your foot upward, which can cause these kind of Achilles injuries. When suffering from Achilles tendinosis you have a chronic Achilles swelling and pain as a result of a continued, stressed tendon that lead to very small tears in your Achilles tendon. At times you can have a lot of pain in the back of your heel and may have difficulty walking. Sometimes the pain makes walking even impossible. The area around your Achilles tendon can be red, swollen and very sensitive. Recover® Leukocyte-, and Platelet-Rich Plasma (L-PRP) offers a technique that may help tendon injuries. L-PRP prepared with the Recover technique, results in concentrated platelets and white blood cells containing reservoirs of bioactive proteins, like growth factors. L-PRP injection therapy offers a technique that may help to decrease pain and improve function. Recover®: A natural treatment of Achilles tendinosis Recover® treatment A 52 ml sample of blood is withdrawn from your arm. The blood is then transferred in a cell separator tube that is placed into a centrifuge that spins the blood for 15 minutes. The centrifuge step separates the L-PRP from the rest of the blood components. After centrifugation the L-PRP is collected. L-PRP obtained with the Recover technique (containing platelets, growth factors and white blood cells) is ready to be injected back into the tendon at the site of the chronic injury. Before injecting the L-PRP a local anaesthetic may be used. After just one single skin poke, the L-PRP will be injected into the tendon with multiple penetrations. After treatment After the injection you should not move your leg for 15 minutes. Afterwards you can go home and may get a prescription for a narcotic pain medication for pain control overnight. Anti-inflammatory drugs are not allowed. Icing can be a good solution. Increased pain at the site of injury may result for 2 weeks after Recover L-PRP injection. Forty-eight hours post treatment you should start a standardised stretching protocol which will be provided by your consultant. This should be followed for two weeks. After the two weeks stretching a formal strengthening programme will be added. Over time, you are allowed to take up sporting or recreational activities, as tolerated.

Tennis/Golfers Elbow See more TENNIS/GOLFERS ELBOW ABOUT TENNIS/GOLFERS ELBOW Tennis/golfers elbow is a form of tendonitis that causes pain in your elbow. It is triggered by repetitive movements such as typing, DIY or sports like squash or javelin. Any daily activity that puts stress on the forearm can cause tennis/golfer’s elbow. It is most common among people aged 35-55 and is usually experienced in your dominant hand. We can treat Tennis Elbow in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Tennis elbow causes pain on the outside of the forearm and elbow joint. Whereas Golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inside of the joint. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF TENNIS/GOLFERS ELBOW? Pain from tennis or golfer’s elbow can be felt in the forearm and also the wrist and hand. Most people with tennis or golfer’s elbow will experience one or more of the following: Discomfort when bending or lifting the arm A weakened grip or pain when gripping objects Pain when performing a twisting movement of the forearm e.g. using a door handle Stiffness or pain when fully extending the arm WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? As with all forms on tendonitis, treatments are focused around rest and then the proper conditioning on the tendons on the forearm: Rest – avoid the activity that causes the pain and adapt your movements to take the stress from certain tendons. For example, try lifting objects with your palm face down or face up to see which is more comfortable. Pain relief – over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, can treat the pain and possibly reduce any inflammation as well. Ice therapy – helps reduce inflammation but also promotes blood flow to the area. Physiotherapy – exercises that promote flexibility and strength are important for recovery. Your physio may also recommend different therapies, such as using a TENS device. Injections – steroid injections can reduce inflammation and pain in your elbow and arm. This may make physiotherapy more comfortable. Surgery is used when elbow tendonitis isn’t improving after a year of treatment or the condition is particularly painful or debilitating.

About hand and wrist arthritis When the joints are affected by arthritis, activities of daily living can be difficult. Arthritis can occur in many ... Hand and Wrist Arthritis See more HAND AND WRIST ARTHRITIS ABOUT HAND AND WRIST ARTHRITIS When the joints are affected by arthritis, activities of daily living can be difficult. Arthritis can occur in many areas of the hand and wrist and can have more than one cause. Over time, if the arthritis is not treated, the bones that make up the joint can lose their normal shape. This causes more pain and further limits motion. We can treat hand and wrist arthritis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. When arthritis occurs due to disease, the onset of symptoms is gradual and the cartilage decreases slowly. The two most common forms of arthritis from disease are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis: Osteoarthritis is much more common and generally affects older people. Also known as “wear and tear” arthritis, osteoarthritis causes cartilage to wear away. It appears in a predictable pattern in certain joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that can affect many parts of your body. It causes the joint lining (synovium) to swell, which causes pain and stiffness in the joint. Rheumatoid arthritis most often starts in the small joints of the hands and feet. It usually affects the same joints on both sides of the body. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ARTHRITIS? Arthritis painful and will probably affect the mobility of your hand and wrist. Other symptoms include: Joint may feel warm to touch due to inflammation in the area Pain that is either dull or has a burning sensation Swelling around the affected joint Changes in the surrounding joints Sensation of grating or grinding in the affected joint (crepitation) Small cysts may start to develop around the area WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? Treatment options for arthritis of the hand and wrist include medication, splinting, injections, and surgery, and are determined based on: How far the arthritis has progressed How many joints are involved Your age, activity level and other medical conditions If the dominant or non-dominant hand is affected Your personal goals, home support structure, and ability to understand the treatment and comply with a therapy program Non Surgical Treatment Medications – Medications treat symptoms but cannot restore joint cartilage or reverse joint damage. The most common medications for arthritis are anti-inflammatories, which stop the body from producing chemicals that cause joint swelling and pain. Examples of anti-inflammatory drugs include medications such as naproxen and ibuprofen. Supplements – Glucosamine and chondroitin are widely advertised dietary supplements or “neutraceuticals.” Neutraceuticals are not drugs. Rather, they are compounds that are the “building blocks” of cartilage. Injections – When first-line treatment with anti-inflammatory medication is not appropriate, injections may be used. These typically contain a long-lasting anesthetic and a steroid that can provide pain relief for weeks to months. The injections can be repeated, but only a limited number of times, due to possible side effects. Splinting – Injections are usually combined with splinting of the affected joint. The splint helps support the affected joint to ease the stress placed on it from frequent use and activities. Splints are typically worn during periods when the joints hurt. Surgical Treatment If nonsurgical treatment fails to give relief, surgery is usually discussed. There are many surgical options. The chosen course of surgical treatment should be one that has a reasonable chance of providing long-term pain relief and return to function. It should be tailored to your individual needs. If there is any way the joint can be preserved or reconstructed, this option will be chosen. Book an appointment to treat hand and wrist arthritis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster or Worksop.

Bursitis/Trochanteric Pain See more BURSITIS/TROCHANTERIC PAIN ABOUT BURSITIS Bursitis is where the bursa in a joint becomes inflamed. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction and helps the tendons and ligaments of the joint slide easily over each other. You can get bursitis in any joint but it most commonly affects the shoulders, hips, elbows and knees. When the bursa in the hip joint becomes inflamed, it is called trochanteric bursitis. We can treat trochanteric bursitis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop! There are several causes of bursitis but mostly when the joint is overused or following an injury. Active people, especially walkers, runners and cyclists are prone to getting bursitis in the hip. When the long connective tissue called the iliotibial band (ITB) is tight from extensive use, it can rub against the hip joint causing bursitis. Other causes of bursitis include poor posture, gout or surgery on the hip. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF TROCHANTERIC BURSITIS? The symptoms of trochanteric bursitis include: Sharp pain or dull ache on the outside of your hip. Warm or tender to touch, possibly even swollen. Hurts more when you move, such as going downstairs or getting up from sitting. Painful to lie on that side or when you press it. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR BURSITIS? There are several ways that you can self-treat bursitis in the hip: Rest – this means keeping your weight off the hip joint as much as possible, such as using crutches when walking. Ice therapy – applying an ice pack to the joint for 10 to 20 minutes every few hours will help reduce the inflammation. Elevation – keeping the joint at the same level as your heart (also known as lying down) Anti-inflammatory meds – over-the-counter meds, such as ibuprofen, can help reduce inflammation If your bursitis isn’t getting better using self-treating methods, there are other options available: Physiotherapy – a physio can both manipulate the joint as well as give you specific exercises that can help with your bursitis. Antibiotics – your GP may prescribe a course of antibiotics if the bursitis is as a result of an infection. Injections – cortisone steroid injections can be made into the hip joint to reduce the swelling. If the bursa is not healing despite treatments above, it may need to be removed surgically as it may be beyond repair.

Ankle Sprains and Instability See more ANKLE SPRAINS AND INSTABILITY ABOUT ANKLE SPRAINS The ankle joint is kept stable by several strong ligaments working alongside the muscles in the foot. When one of these ligaments is stretched or torn, it is called a sprain. We can treat ankle sprains in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Sharp, sudden twisting movements can cause damage to these ligaments, such as when the ankle “gives way” underneath us. When the ankle is sprained, tendons and blood vessels can also be damaged. An ankle sprain is a common injury for sports that involve running or jumping. However, you’re just as likely to sprain an ankle when walking without proper attention and walking off a curb unnoticed or missing a step when coming downstairs.

Hip Sprain See more HIP SPRAIN ABOUT HIP SPRAINS The ligaments in the hip connect the thigh bone to the pelvis. When one or more of these ligaments is pulled or stretched too far, we call it a sprain. This overstretched ligament may be damaged such as tiny tears as a result. A similar injury is a hip strain where a muscle is stretched and damaged, such as a hip flexor strain. We can treat hip sprains in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Sprains and strains in the hip are usually caused by a sudden twisting movement. This can be from a fall or as a result of a car accident. Hip sprains are also common for sportspeople when they have to make a sudden change of direction. But can also occur if the joint wasn’t warmed up properly before exercising. You are more likely to strain your hip if you have previously had a hip strain. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A HIP SPRAIN? A hip sprain is painful and will probably affect your ability to walk. Other symptoms include: Sharp pain at the top of the hip Hurts to walk or run or lift your thigh Stiffness or cramping in the leg Bruising around the hip or top of the thigh Walking with a limp Swelling at the hip joint Because so much of our movement comes from our hips, a hip strain can be felt in other parts of the body including the abdomen, back and thighs. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? Sprains should be rested and ice should be used in the first 48 hours. This will help prevent further damage and help reduce any swelling. For a mild sprain, you can use the RICE principle to treat yourself at home: R – Rest: try an keep off your ankle for the first 48 hours I – Ice: apply an ice pack to reduce swelling C – Compression: Use a compression bandage to help prevent swelling E – Elevation: raising your ankle to level with your heart also helping reduce swelling If your hip sprain is more severe, other treatment options include: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – painkillers that help reduce any inflammation.

Crutches or similar aid – to help you walk whilst you rest your hip. Mild to moderate hip sprains should get better within two to eight weeks. More severe sprains will take longer and require more rehabilitation. However, if your hip sprain doesn’t get better through non-invasive treatments, surgery might be an option.
