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

Not quite a simple injection... Done under full sedation as it's directly into the nerve root ;)

Thought they were one of the few bits that still work ok. ;) Or has he worn them out by twiddling his thumbs for so long? ;D

Seriously, LD, I hope this marks the beginning of the end of this painful episode. :y

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

Glad that things are hopefully starting to look brighter for you at last Paul. All you need now is to stumble across that* elusive Elite estate with the correct spec*, and life will really be sweet. :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
