Do Hospitals Realise They Scare The Crap Out Of You?

I have a fractured ( done back in 1980 L1-L5 ) prolapsed disc same time since time found out all this in 2010 have since found out I have collapsed disc ( T1- T4 ) excessive wear ( C2-C6 ) I take a few tablets a day have also had several injections in the neck & back they have helped although still suffer a lot of pain it can vary in decrees but I was offered this op which I declined as I don’t want to take the risk as yet but each to there own good luck with it

I asked my Dr to send me to pain management which has helped as they sorted out MRI scans etc advised on pain relief as well as the injections

When you do have it let me know how it goes as I may need it in a few years

Gabapentine 6x30 0mg
