The Bravo pH test for stomach acid involves attaching a capsule to your oesophagus to measure acid reflux from your stomach. Having information on whether and when stomach acid backs up into your oesophagus can help your consultant treat your symptoms. These might include regular heartburn, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or a sore throat.

A painful condition that affects the tendons as they pass through a tight tunnel on the thumb side of the wrist

Tennis elbow is a painful condition that develops when the tendons in your elbow are overworked and overstretched.

I see many patients with tendonitis – tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendonitis, hip tendonitis, foot tendonitis and wrist and hand tendonitis. Managing tendonitis is always difficult, partly because we don’t completely understand tendonitis. Partly, also, because our treatments are not great. I wrote a blog explaining how to manage tendonitis. Exercise is the best medicine for patients with tendonitis, but some cases are resistant to exercise and require other treatments.
