Not been on here for a bit but thought I'd give you an update.

I saw Mr Lam last Monday (4 Sept), what a lovely Dr The suprise is seeing what my old Consultant missed ~ a torn disc at L5!! Anyway, it needs to come out & Mr Lam recommends ADR first but until he gets in, can't be 100% sure that he won't have to do a fusion, depends on the state of things once inside.

I'm going for an up-to-date MRI & xrays this week then back to London for the Discogram on 4th October. Depending on how things go, will probably schedule the surgery for early November.

I'm really not looking forward to the Discogram & could have had it done sooner but as I've opted for sedation, it was getting a slot when the anaethetist was available ~ plus being sure my hubby could get time off work.

I'm also off to see a Rheumatologist in 2 weeks to see about the arthritis & also for a possible dx for Fybromyalgia.

I'll update again when I have any news.
