Passionate motorcycle rider John Brown hits the road<br />
again thanks to successful hand surgery<br />
Motorcycle paramedic John Brown has been passionate about motorcycles from an early age. His<br />
father was a bike enthusiast and John was the proud owner of his first bike by the age of 16. “My father<br />
loved his bikes! I grew up surrounded by them so I guess it was inevitable that biking would become such<br />
a big part of my life” explained John.<br />
John has had a very successful career in the emergency services, starting with the fire service before<br />
training to become a motorcycle paramedic. John described that part of his career as a ‘dream come<br />
true’! “To be riding my bike daily for work and helping people was amazing!” said John.<br />
13 years ago when on duty as a paramedic, John was involved in a serious accident which<br />
resulted in him losing his leg. However, this didn’t stop him getting back on his bike at the earliest<br />
opportunity.<br />
Earlier this year, John started developing symptoms in his hand. “It began with tingling and loss of feeling<br />
in my fingers but it got so bad that I couldn’t even hold my knife and fork when eating. It also affected my<br />
riding as I couldn’t turn the throttle. My bike is my main mode of transport, I use it every day and it was<br />
frustrating that it was becoming so difficult” explained John.<br />
A family member recommended John should speak with hand and wrist specialist Mr<br />
Shyamalan to seek treatment. John described his experience “We were in the middle of a global<br />
pandemic so I was unsure what was possible. However, Mr Shyamalan conducted a video<br />
consultation and diagnosed carpal tunnel. The following week I had my surgery and within 48 hours I<br />
had regained the use and feeling in my hand and the pain had gone. Mr Shyamalan and his team were<br />
great and I was reassured by all the measures in place to keep me safe.”<br />
Six weeks after his hand surgery, when the travel<br />
restrictions had been lifted, John was able to enjoy a 4000<br />
mile bike tour around Europe. John is really happy with the<br />
results of his treatment and he is busy planning his next<br />
biking adventure.<br />
