update from specialist appointment
hi everyone,
im now waiting on another appointment for another hospital in glasgow to see if the spinal surgeons there shall agree to remove the disc completely. The mri scan picked up a large prolapse and the specialist feels removal is only cure to let me be pain free.
im in so much pain today after my physical examination to which the specialist aplologised for giving me the physical as he should have checked the mri first.
This is the abnormality compared to first scan done that mri scan picked up on and for anyone following my story will remember was taken a year ago and then hospital forgot about me as my pain management doc left and my files disappeared.
Im so mad to think for nearly a full year this abnormality has been there but with no result sent to my gp this could have been sorted sooner.
Three years is along time to be in constant pain and morphine doesn,t even take edge off it.
They will try and get me seen a.s.a.p. at southern general to see if surgery is/ has too proceed and when.
I hope you are all keeping better and a bit more pain free. I shall keep updating to keep you all informed of what is happening.
take care everyone
