Thank you Dale
I actually had my surgery carried out privately, if I had been an NHS patient I would have had a fusion or similar due to the cost. I too will now be interested in what the NS has to say. I will be honest & say that if I were to be told that it would be better for me to go through a major surgery to remove the Prodisc & do revision surgery, I would be straight in!! I know I'll always have certain health problems to deal with but I had this surgery hoping that if nothing else, my back pain would be at least halved (I was given odds that the surgeon was 80% sure he could halve my pain), maybe I put too much onus on that?
I know I can't change what has happened but have to admit that for probably the first time tonight, I feel real mixed emotions from upset to angry. I know all surgeries carry their risks & that I'm luckier than many but I can't help feeling let down.
Anyway, I'm waffling as usual!! Thanks again for your reply
