Got a Private Hospital appointment tomorrow morning for my back... Fingers crossed I get some answers and idea of how much longer I'm going to be waiting... Sleeping for less than 3 hours at a time is no fun :'( :'(
-
Good luck :y
-
Good luck LD/LF... :y
-
Hope it all goes OK LD......... :y :y :y
-
Good luck mate! :y :y
-
Hope all goes well Paul :y
-
Thanks all... I'm hoping to get a definitive "Yes/No" for surgery so I can get things moving :y :y
-
hope you get sorted soon paul, ive just been put on morphine for mine. :o
-
good luck :y

hope you get sorted soon paul, ive just been put on morphine for mine. :o
I've been on a morphine substitute for the last 3 weeks (along side the other pain killers as well!), although I try not to take it during the day if I can help it ::)
Shake me at the moment and I rattle ;D ;D

At the risk of sounding quite unkind, have your teeth started to rot yet?
Watch out for the meth and its substitutes. It really does a number on teeth. One of the easy ways to spot a user/ex-user, IMHO.
ps - hope you get the back sorted soon. You have an as yet unknown appointment with a 3.2 estate.... ;) best buddy, best mate, in the making.... :P ;D

good luck LD,hope all works out well for you :y

Not completely unknown ::) ;) I'm just waiting for final feedback from Cliffob about tank fitting (he's doing an estate at the moment) and a short, fat, shouty bloke as to whether we have completely cured the lag issue ;) (so far, so good on that subject :y)
As for teeth... Not yet! But mine aren't in the best condition TBH :-[ I'm totally and utterly scared of dentists and haven't been for much longer than I care to admit ::)
-
Thanks for your help over the last few weeks.
I know your suffering :(
Hope you get sorted mate :y
ps Front end kit arived today so now the fun can start on my shed ;)
-
Good luck :y
-
Hope things go well for you Paul, we've all got everything crossed here for you :y

Hope things go well, mate! :y

All the best. :y

Good luck....been there, done it etc :y
I really feeeeel for you buddy. ;)
-
good luck, hope you get some decent answers :y
-
Hope it goes well, and that you can finally make progress towards getting it sorted :y
-
Yes, I hope today gets you to a position where you can look towards a resolution for this distressing condition.
Hope things go well. :y
-
good luck :y

Well... Not a complete waste of time but not as much progress as I'd hoped ::) ::) Got to go back on Wednesday morning for a MRI Scan before he'll commit to any course of action but he agreed that it's "not right" and that surgery may well be on the cards :( :(

So what sort of surgery would they be considering?

Just echoing all the positive comments gone previously - Good luck :y

3 screws into the spine (3 different vertebra) to then stop the problem one from moving out of position :o :o
-
If you have an op is it going to be done locally or at somewhere like Stoke Manderville?

Sounds similar to what my mother had done a few years back. It was experimental back then and she can no longer touch her toes but the pain and the temper that went with it have all but gone :y
Good luck with that..... by coincidence I am also having an MRI on Wednesday next week also. Looking to confirm a diagnosis of crohn's

I can't touch my toes anyway! ;D ;D ;D He said he'd rather not do surgery but it may well be required... L1 Vertebra is well and truely out of alignment, forward by about 1/4 from where it should be :o :o
Good luck on Wednesday Guffer... But you're not sharing the bed with me! ::) :P ;D
-

Hopefully be done at the local Private Hospital. The Spinal Team at Ipswich (both NHS and Private) is one of the best in the country (after Stoke Mandeville of course) so feel pretty safe in their hands :y :y
-
No clue to underlieing cause yet then? Injury or condition? Hence the scan ?
-
L1 is higher up than I thought.
With mine, if laid flat on back, prolonged tensing of stomach muscles helps, sometimes there's a click if tensed hard enough. Which helps. But mine is lower down than yours.
1/4" is a lot. :o
-

I think it's probably years of abuse :-[ :-[
The scan is for confirmation that the problem is the "slipped" vertebra and not a prolapsed disc further up the spine. Hopefully he'll just get on with it afterwards... Was talking about (perhaps) trying spinal injections first, although they're only about 60% effective and will probably only delay the surgery :-/ :-/

My mistake... L5! Problem is between L4, L5 and S1 ::) ::) Right at the base.
Not 1/4", although (thinking about it that's about right!) but 1/4 of the spine! It does explain why it's so bloody painful ::) ::)
-
Old lady over the road had an injection for long running sciatica. She's bombing around now.
Plus another mate had one for an injury, which worked once they got the right vertebrae, the muppets.

Yep... But even the consultant said, looking at the x-ray, that it may not be worth trying because of the vertebra that is out of position :-/ :-/
Once he's got the scan results we'll have a better idea what course of action to take. I have made it clear that I am on a restricted time scale and that I would rather go for the most likely fix than try things first
-
hope all goes well :y

All the very best Paul :y :y :y :y
Backs are quite fragile & need more care than they get.
-
Here's hoping for some positive action mate. Seems you've been suffering long enough.

Still going to have to wait a while longer unfortunately ::) ::) But certainly starting to make some progress :y :y

i got the same answer when i attended a private hospital for my leg..been two years of pain but i need x rays but first got to argue out whos paying..but good luck all the same :y
-
Good luck LD.
If you get stuck, I've got a Black & Decker here...
-

Already got the X-Rays (privately at the Chiropractors) which is where the evidence of the "slip" can be seen. I'm paying for the MRI scan because I may be able to apply to a charity for payment of treatment costs... It's in my interest to speed this along, especially as there is a very real danger that my employer will give me Medical Severance if things don't progress more rapidly :(
-
mines a result of some wazock that couldnt drive and see i had stopped in front of him!!!...guess a little different.. thing is this silly hospital would'nt let me pay for x ray as the insurance company are their client???
-
Well... MRI scan tomorrow morning and then the follow up appointment with the consultant on Thursday, which will be decision time :y :y
-
The very best of British to you Lazydocker :y :y
Back ache is a terrible thing to have to endure.......Good luck.. :y :y
-
i'm sure we can get a black & decker out and some screws from B&Q, how hard can it be? ::)
We can create a how2 at the same time? :D ;D ;D ;D
Seriously though hope scan provides some insight :y
-
Hope you go on ok "Glassback".....
Hey with me perhaps being a friend, I can offer my services if you can't manage it ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :P :P :P :P :P :P

Can't even take some of my drugs as they can't be taken on an empty stomach ::) ::)
-
Bit clostraphobic in there, although last one I had I fell asleep, even with the noise.
-
good luck
I'm off to docs for some more happy pain pills in a bit
feel like iv been hit with a sledge hammer between my shoulder blades
my upper back has kicked off this week
re MRI scans
thing is m8 there not as conclusive as they make out
or people assume
every one over a certain age will have disk abnormality's on a MRI some will hurt some wont
if you MRI 100 people only ten of em had pain others were fine
Ill guarantee you that if you gave a consultant the 100 MRI scans
they couldn't pick out witch ones had pain with out seeing them and seeing when they go ouch
-

they stuck me in the smallest one they could find for a full spin scan from neck to ass
it the wall going back wards and forward 2 inch in front of my nose i couldn't stand
i was suppose to be in it for and hour and a half min
after 15 mins i said opps get me out and screw it
-
All the best for it mate :y
-
Well... That wasn't an experience I'd like to repeat any time soon :o Especially paying the bill afterwards! Was a bit annoyed that they demanded I had X-rays of my eyes (due to previous metal fragments which I assured them was removed OK) and then charged me £104 for the privilege! >:( >:( On top of the £420 they charged for the scan :o :o
I'm not claustrophobic, but it was a little unpleasant. I hope they had a bigger tunnel for Guffer though or he might get stuck :-X ::) :P ;D
Got an appointment with the consultant tomorrow to discuss the results, although I know that they aren't exactly perfect, and get some idea what can be done to put it right :y
-
Good stuff, at least progress is being made :y

there a good reason m8 for them being careful with the eyes
believe if there was the tinyist fragment of metal in there you don't want to know what would happen trust me
see told you it aint nice i aint claustrophobic eater
it worst if you go in head first

I did ;) ;) ;)
I know why they were so cautious about the metal fragment, but wish I'd just ticked "no" as I know it was completely removed at the time... The bloke picked it out with a pin and a cotton bud!
TBH, I was more annoyed that I was billed so much for it.. They didn't even mention an extra charge >:( >:(
-
yea some of them are biger that others
the one at the local hospital was tiny i was in agony due to pain and been awake all night before scan
and was on a mixture of opiaits and way to much coffe
if you move they have redo bits that's why i gave up
theres a private open/up right scaner in london you
can sit up and watch a movie on a 42" plasmar in that

doing a full spine scan take boody ages

Mine went well. I didn't realise that I was having both intravenous and gastric contrasts, apparently the daddy of mri scans. The biggest surprise was the buscopan of which I had 4 viles! It was intended to relax the gut (still not farting with confidence) but the side effects were horrific. My vision was so blurred I could not read a clock or a huge banner outside the hospital front door. Also I was so hungry due to the fasting prior to the procedure so I went to the cafe for brunch. I couldn't read the menu and had to get an old man to read it for me!
Oh and lazytinker I fit in mine no problems and no claustraphobia yer cheek get!

Sounds like my experience was more pleasant than yours! But it should, hopefully, be worth it for you and give a confirmed diagnosis.
I'm off to the hospital in about an hour for the results and to discuss the way forwards

Well, good news is he doesn't think that a double fusion (which is what he was thinking of) will be hugely beneficial :y Recommends spinal injections (cortisone and aesthetic) in 2/3 places to "reset" the nerves and should be up and about within a week of having them done :y
A huge relief felt here and the knowledge that I should be fully on my feet within 10 weeks or so :y :y
Of course, there is the chance that it won't fix it but more likely to be the result we're after than surgery. He basically thinks I've got a Nerve that has "Crashed" and wants to do a "Hard Reset" :y :y
Might even be able to make the Lakes meet yet :y :y
-
That does sound positive, hope it goes as well as you hope :y
-
Can't they bank the injections in now then? Or am I being naive again?
As you can tell, I'm not gay enough to do doctors and nurses... ...OK, I'll give you the nurses :P

after reading this whole thread i wish you all the best for the injections (doesn't sound easy) and hope you come out the other side fit as a fiddle!!

Was hoping they'd go for injections, as I'm sure you where too. Good news LD. :y

m8 dont work your self up on the injections
i hope they work, but they dont work for everyone
its not always a magic cure
but it is for many
backs are funny things
before you consider a fusion there other options
like killing the nerve or there having success with implanted simulators now
what have they said was the original cause of the pressure on the nerve
I had a poped disk at L4-L5 it took a year to shrink back
-
There is some disc degeneration and L1 is slightly displaced, but the MRI shows plenty of space for the nerve roots to pass through. He thinks I trapped the nerve when my spine twisted (which is what originally happened) and it's "faulty".
I know the injections aren't a guarantee but he's pretty confident and doesn't think a double fusion will be as effective. I'm keeping a positive attitude over it :y He's also said that it doesn't look like I will do myself any mischief so, if I can stand the pain, I can be a little more active :y Obviously I'm not going to start doing too much but I can, at least, get on with my life a little more :y :y
So... PMA and injections will hopefully see me back on my feet and fully fit within 10 weeks or so, possibly quicker if the price is right! ;D ;D

Good luck LD - just don't go trying to do more than the doc allows in the recovery period..
So no laying under cars ;)

Errm... Well.... Had to do a little bit of that yesterday :-X :-X
And will need to do some more in the very near future, but hopefully nothing too major and I have had the offer of help from some very kind OOFers :y :y

Spoilt for choice! Thinking it'll need 2 weekends being a new one to us, although it does mean that we'll know what we're doing when the bonny gold one appears ::)
Might see about coming over your way at the end of the month, depending on whether I've managed to get the other general stuff done/organised.

that's better news then mu
looks like you pinched the nerve a bit and it need time to setel down a bit and the injections may well do that well
mine is different i have scoliosis a curvature of spine
and a rotation of the spine
so you get press all over the place and bits poping now im older
If i start looking at futions its like having T3 to L4 or longer fused solid
like i said too doc Fook that Till i run out opiates to try :y ;D

That was when I was thinking... Let the girlies go and do some crafty cr*p over the weekend then Bucks meet on the Monday :-/ :-/ Not really a work weekend as such, more a general "check it's all together" type get together before starting anything major :-/
It needs a bloody good service and coolant flush before I even consider anything else ::) ::) and a cambelt change is due soon too :-X

Belated best wishes Paul :y and good luck with your appt :y sorry I'm a bit late :'( I must visit Gen discussion more often :y

That was when I was thinking... Let the girlies go and do some crafty cr*p over the weekend then Bucks meet on the Monday :-/ :-/ Not really a work weekend as such, more a general "check it's all together" type get together before starting anything major :-/
It needs a bloody good service and coolant flush before I even consider anything else ::) ::) and a cambelt change is due soon too :-X
Opps, forgot it was Bank Holiday ;D
2 days should be enough to get front end on, and ponder what to do with rear end? Or get rear end done?

And if Cliffo B posts up some pics of his tank install, that could help :y

Pity you're not closer LF you could have borrowed the apprentice.
Thankfully I've had some very kind offers from people so it shouldn't be too bad :y
So will it be Hotel TheBoy, or does Kevin Wood know yet ;D
Spoilt for choice! Thinking it'll need 2 weekends being a new one to us, although it does mean that we'll know what we're doing when the bonny gold one appears ::)

That was my thinking... I wonder if KW and Gixerboy have any plans? ::) ::)
I'll be preparing the loom, the way we did yours, in advance (that reminds me, I'll need the injector wire colours from you ::)) so there'll be no piggybacks to go in and I'll have a manifold pre-prepared with nozzles (oh yeah... Best speak to KW too ::)) that I'll just throw my injectors onto. That should make the front end doable in a day really, although I might need to do some other engine stuff at the same time ::)
Oh... Just remembered that I need to get a bit of pipework from Albs too as I'll be binning the Aux Coolant circuit like we did on TBE :y

I have his pictures (some are in the Tank Options Thread) and a lot of info from him on what he had to do, hence the thinking that it may be better to go with a slightly smaller tank for ease of fitting) which I will be making into a "How To" in the future, but not until after I've done an estate myself so I actually know what I'm talking about ::) ::)

Just spoken to Mrs TheBoy - that could be an issue, as she is struggling to keep on top of her college homework at the moment :'(
Boys can play, but she needs to be a home working on her projects :(

Hmmm... Mind you, SWMBO was going to London on the Friday to see the filming of some tv show, I wonder if I can convince her to do something with herself for the weekend ::)
Or perhaps the other 2 ladies might be interested in doing something? She'll be carless if she comes (obviously ::)) is my only thought, otherwise she might have gone off to visit some other friends :-/

Of course... The other option is that you feed her copious amounts of tea/coffee and do all the "Pink Jobs" for a few weeks so she can catch up :-X :-X ::) ::) :D :D

Hmmm can I come and piggy back on to this session ???? ::) ::) ::)

When you thinking of doing this? If you could rough idea of when, I'll see if the garage is free here, least I can do after all your help before :y
-
I still have access to the workshops here as well, but accomodation is no longer available in the mess.

Don't see why not, although rear end will be completely irrelevant to you ;)

Mrs TB is going to make some time, so we could be on for then :y
She has 2 hair appointments, one for Friday, one for Saturday, that she might not be able to reschedule, but doubt they'll take long. Why women need 2 hair appts I'll never understand... ...she did explain it, but my mind wandered onto curry and poppadoms....

Something to do with checking colours I'm told :-/
We up for it btw. :y

Unfortunately I made a slight balls up with the weekend (see PM if it hasn't vanished out of your inbox already!) so SWMBO wouldn't be able to come anyway and I can't come until Saturday, though can be there whenever you want to start. I was thinking 9 ish for a cuppa aiming to start 10 ish?

Of course... All this frenzied excitement may be completely irrelevant if I can't get hold of Teilo/the kit in time ::) ::)
