James Wood, 19, from Great Yarmouth, was referred to Mr Jabbar at Great Ormond Street Hospital (Gosh) when he was 12.
Mr Wood, who has multiple pterygium syndrome – a rare congenital condition affecting neuromuscular and skeletal functions – had limited movement in his knees and ankles.
Within weeks, Mr Wood developed extreme pain and swelling in his right thigh.
I would get these really intense fits of pain in my right thigh for about an hour at a time.
