Hi everyone, just hoping that you can all keep your fingers crossed and keep me in your prayers for the 20th April. 11 days time!!!!! I'm having revision of a Maverick disc at L5-S1 and if any of you have read the Revision Surgery Thread you'll know why I need your support! I am positive there will be a change post-op. When the disc is not impinging on my spinal cord there has to be a reduction in my leg pain at least to some degree. I hope that I can come out of this with lots of valuable info to pass on to other members. I know that the initial surgeon who implanted the Disc is going to get a letter from me so that maybe the next time a 31yr old woman comes to him with severe leg pain 12mths out, he might just sit up and take notice. Isn';t it a shame that some Drs won't acknowledge a failed candidate for fear that their "numbers" won't look good on paper!
Take Care everyone, will post some news when I return from Munich. Europe here I come!!!
