Hi,
i have had disc problems for 5 yrs , i have had epidurals,facett joint injections a discectomy and a bi lateral decompression(L45)
I have just come out of A+E for the second time and my latest scan shows
L45 prolapse
L34 torn
narrow nerve channels

I had an apointment with my surgeon last tuesday and he has put me in a plaster jacket before i have a 3 level fusion.
The plaster jacket has straightend me up and i am pain free for the first time in yrs

The plaster jacket is not quite what i was expecting,i am plastered solid from under my arm pits down to my left knee, my right knee is free so that i can move about. I can not sit at all and it is quite strange trying to move about.

REMOVED

Cheers Martin.
