Epiduroscopy?

[LC in UK]

Hi Mark
Yes, I think I did sign to give my "informed consent"....terrible system we have here. As for the outcome, all I heard when I came out of recovery was the ward Sister saying I had a "small bulge in the L3/4 area" and that doesn't account for the symptoms I have.
The numbness in my left leg from the probe anaesthetic has worn off now and I'm a bit sore where they inserted the probe but that doesn't worry me. I knew I'd have wobbly legs for a short while. But...still have problems with walking around, like I'm propelling myself from the hips, aching burning sensations on the outside of the hip joints and my legs feel heavy.
I'm really interested to see what comes of the neck x-ray, I know I really need the cervical MRI but it's a start. The spurs will show up anyway and surely if they see those they should investigate further ?
Lets hope I get the chance to talk to my consultant in a couple of weeks and see what he thinks, because nobody came to talk to me before the procedure or afterwards.
Be in touch, thanks for writing
