      Yes I agree Barinder is a very good surgeon, he carried out a decompression op which went very well

      Sadly now that I have a separate issue my back has degenerated that now requires a multi level fusion, my home county of Shropshire have vetoed all back operation unless urgent because of costs of procedures and success % rates!

      Hahaha I knew I had spelt it wrong 🙈 I

      Am sorry to about your new issues 😢 So are they saying you can't have another operation? My operation is due this year once I've had my spc done on the 22nd in 14 days not looking forward to it but needs must 😢, he is only performing the fusion and fitting cage for pain and nerve to see if can reduce my pain. I am currently in a wheelchair from a car accident.

      I had no idea you were in a wheelchair, really sorry to hear that and I can presume that would class your op as urgent. 

      Whereas mine is early disc degeneration he told me my spine is that of an 85 yr old where in truth I was only 55 in December, so although critical for me on a sliding scale I'm down the list in comparison. 

      I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
