Hi TFU i have just been reading your post, i am very interested about your first op and the fact that they did the wrong level, well guess what that happened to me had first op thought i would be ok tiy took a year and constantly phoneing my consultant;s secretary thankfully she was very understanding and often went beyond her dutie to get me in to see my consultant eventually after another mri he called me in to see him i was confinced they were going to tell me there is nothing else they could do instead he told me they had done L3/L4 instead of L4/5.

I would love to hear from you and compare what you have done about it.

i am taking them to court i have a good case because he addmitted he had done the wrong level dont get me wrong i still have to fight for compensation but no matter what money may come of it the damage is done for live i now have to rely on pain managementto get through a day best wishes hope things improve for everyone.

    Hi Pattie, it's TFU. I am quite happy to talk to you about my experiences and it will be good to have a \"compensation buddy\" because right now the only one I have to talk to about that side of things is my solicitor. As you can see for the first time, I am writing not as a guest, but as a member. Can I suggest that you become a member too then if you leave me a message through the members area with your e-mail address and I will reply privately. I think that will be best because some of the issues shouldn't really be aired in a public forum.

    Anybody else can get in touch too, especially Jaimie, Jude and of course Jess, who already has my e-mail details.

    Best wishes
