Well on Thursday this week I hopefully will find out exactly how much I have knackered my back :o

I have already been off work for 3 weeks and it looks like I wont be going back anytime soon :( :( Which is driving me mad, specially as I don't get sick pay from employer >:( >:(

Going to Frenchay Neurosurgical dept. Bristol, to see the consultant but its anyones guess as to what the outcomes likely to be :-? :-?

Wish me luck peeps as i think I am going to need it :'( :'(

Well had the Hospital visit and It wasn't news I wanted to hear to be honest :(

I have prolapsed the same sodding disc I did years ago and am now facing another surgical operation :o which should be within the next 3 months :-/ But as yet I am waiting for that.

So depending wether its a 100% fix this time it may mean selling the thousand and even finding or at least trying to find another job :o :o

Thanks all for the positive wishes and I'll keep you updated :)

Sorry to hear your news - I was keeping my fingers crossed for you Today.
You might find that the op might make your condition better than when you had your previous op - medical advances e.t.c.

I wish you luck in the op and prospective new job!

Col
It was an L$ lumbar disc and originally I prolapsed it way back in 1998 whilst at work(home del.) when 2 of us were carrying a washing machine still half full of water and as I stepped out of a doorway I felt a pulling sensation in my lower back and the rest they say is history :( :( Unfortunately it took the NHS till 2006 todo the first operation and now 5 yrs on I need another one :o
