Went for my Dynesys check yesterday with my orthopaedic surgeon - everything seems to be ok lumbarwise - and he has written to the neurosurgeon about the prospective 4 - 6 month wait for the 3 level discectomy and fusion asking him to bring this forward. That makes me feel better, just have to wait for it to filter through the system along with the letter my GP has written on the same lines.
Having been unable to walk properly for the past 6 months it freaks me out wondering if there's any irreversible nerve damage being done. Leaving me to wait even longer is unjustifiable, but NHS budgets seem to make it "ok"....
But at least I have my GP and ortho consultant on my side.....

What an old crock I feel! Just want to be put right so I can be more active again, like everybody else on this site!!
Bye for now
Lynette

Nigel, I hope the news is good... when you feel up to it, please post more details about how surgery went, change in symptoms, recovery, etc...

Thanks and good luck!

Pleased to hear everything went well for you Nigel, you certainly sound a lot brighter than before you went in! Things obviously went very well.
So you're not Nigel of the green Capri 1974 after all!
Another Nigel in Bexhill!
As Mark says, post some more details of your Dynesys experience when you can, there's not many of us in this club!
I'm still hoping my op will come through quicker than the projected 4-6 months so I can get it over with. Have an appointment for EMG tests on 19th December at Kings London.
