Thanks Maria,
Its amazing how many nurses that Im coming across who have been retired early due to ill health. Ive spoken to my union, and they are sending me all of the relevent information out regarding the processes that will occur, including pension info in case it is needed. Hope that you are comfortable, warmest wishes sarah

My wife is an RN... had no back problems until 2007 at age 49. Since then, she's had endoscopic discectomy at one level, then 2-level ADR surgery, both lumbar spine.
I'm amazed at how well-represented nurses are among the spiney population. As are police, firefighters, EMT's, horseback riders.

Im sorry to hear that your wife has also had problems, is she doing well now?
My occupational health Dr who I see through work has worked with nurses, the fire brigade, and police force and seen a great deal from each with back problems. It is a hazard of the job I guess, But I was so suprised when my problems started as I was only 29 at the time. However I have spoken to quite alot of people who have problems who are even younger than I was when mine became problematic so you just never know. I hope that your wifes surgery has been a success for her? kindest regards sarah
