Just had Discectomy on Monday

[MoforiSlorgop]

In this one off rare case yes. 100% . Let me set the scene.
You have a OP. Then you fancy having a look for some other folks experiences and find this site.. Like the lady that started this thread , you soon feel like the UK is full of doctors and surgeons that don't really like there patients. Spinelf calls them the old boys club.
So you have a post or two on here . Bang All the. Sort of private questions . Who where and why . Fit bird even you held out for ages before you decided to tell who and what type of surgery you had. Even after a said I had a small scar Mr Grumpy doubts me . Then hints that in 1 , 3 or 5 years down the line it will all go wrong. Pessimistic or what.
Perhaps every one moves to Bristol for a good surgery .
Fitbird I think your good . Just because there are senior members out there dose not make them right .

Fitbird. Thank you! For showing your support for ‘all’ of the forum members who actually want to be involved in intelligible discussions and debates, in order to reduce their real suffering and to improve the quality of their families lives.


Ex pom, your last post clearly shows, that you only just see the tip of the medical iceberg!!

Case in point, over the last 3 years, 5 of the biggest NHS spinal units in the UK, could not provide evidence to prove, how safe, effective or how appropiate their Decompression Surgery is/was.
So just how worried do you think we should be??

Not move to Bristol Ex pom, but we should all be allowed get treatment there, as of right!!

Don't worry though Ex pom, I 'have' been saving my 'couple of quid’s' and I am ‘already’ in discussion with Mr. Martin Knight regarding my 'second' decompression operation at The Spinal Foundation.

I have 2 target areas to address, L5/S1 and L1/2, it's just a matter of picking the most beneficial and gainful one to be operated on first, by Mr. Knight of course!

Because I cannot afford a 'third' procedure at The Spinal Foundation, the ‘least’ gainful target level will probably be operated on by an NHS Surgeon, just like many other members I post with here on the HP forum. However, another member has opened up the possibility of an alternative low cost MISS decompression procedure overseas! So we will see!

You see Ex pom, I know these facts because ‘I have’ spent so much time on this site, engaging with literate, caring and knowledgeable fellow sufferers! So as you can see Ex pom: This time is not wasted.

AAWWW NO LOOK!! I dun spook to much words again!!

On behalf of these fellow sufferers, I would respectfully ask, If you take away just 2 positive words from this forum, please let them be these, ‘spell check’

Expom. Not that I have to explain any reasons to you, but I dont visit this site everyday so was not aware members were asking me about my op. When I saw the posts I was more than happy to answer any questions about my surgery.

I consider myself one of the lucky ones and so should you!
