Hi guys I got a second opinion from Dr Panya who confirmed that I need surgery on the complex tear to the medial meniscus on my right knee.

Can anyone recommend a good doctor at a government hospital who could quote me a price for the surgery to repair it.  
 

The price for surgery at Bangkok Hopsital Pattaya and Bumrungrad in Bangkok privately is very expensive.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I have had the MRI scan at Bangkok Hospital in Pattaya. 

Does anyone know if the Samitivej hospital in Si Racha have any doctors that specialise in this area as this is closer to me.

Appreciate your feed back.

Hi, I have had an MRI scan on my lower back at Bangkok Hospital in Pattaya

They have said - mild disc bulging with stenosis of Left L4-5. It correlates to your symptoms of shooting pain from the back to outside of your leg and ankle. They recommended a cortisone injection under fluoroscopic control.

After researching (on the internet) it suggests that sciatica can come from either nerve roots between L4 and L5 or L5 and S1.

There seems to be two different injections for sciatica - epidural steroid injection that covers a larger area of the spine and selective nerve root block injection that targets a more specific area.

My sciatica has got slowly worse on my left side following a fifth metatarsal break in 2015. I think it is linked to this as I have not had any trauma apart from that in the left side of lower limb. I was in a boot for 6 months as the fracture to so long to heal. I have tried orthotics and regular yoga and specific exercises for this but I still keep getting horrible flair ups.

I would like to get a second opinion from a specialist in sciatica injections.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nathan

Thanks for all your comments. 

Do any of you know another good private hospital closer to Pattaya that have a knee specialist I could take the MRI cd and doctors report to get the second opinion.

Thanks,

Hi, I have recently had an MRI scan at Bangkok Hospital in Pattaya.

They have said that I have - complex tear at posterior horn of the medial meniscus and need keyhole surgery 

I am questioning if I should get a second opinion from another orthopedic doctor at another private hospital as after researching (on the internet) some people say to repair and some people say to leave alone. 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nathan

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if different private hospitals in Thailand have access to each others patient history, records and notes. 

Do Samitivej Hospital share their notes with Bumrungrad International Hospital?

Would appreciate anyones experience or knowledge about this.

Thanks,

Hello I am looking to purchase medical insurance.

Can anyone tell me what is best for the the following:

Male - 40 (British)

South East Asia or Worldwide (exc US)

A plan that is reliable and recognised for direct billing with private hospitals throughout Thailand

Inpatient/Outpatient cover

24 hour assistance 

Direct Billing

I read good things about Luma Health but someone mentioned that they increase their policies based on their overall claims of all of their customers not on a individual basis.

I have a son 10 months old (Thai/British) and girlfriend 32 (Thai) I believe they are covered by the Thai Universal Health system?

Please if anyone has any advice or previous experience researching and purchasing medical insurance that would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Nathan
