Thanks Alastair, I couldn't quite work it out! I know that London Bridge Hospital has very strict hygiene & even when I went in for the day for my discogram, I was swabbed for MRSA. I have no doubt they'll swab again next week as well
As yet I've not heard from anyone who has fibro & has undergone either ADR or any other spinal surgery. I have found an article on
www.myalgia.com that has a set of guidelines for fibro patients undergoing elective surgery which I will forward & hopefully I won't flare after surgery.
Well must go, have a very sad dog problem to sort out today.

Need a revision but not a surgeon in the UK will (or can?) remove a Prodisc!!
Prodisc has ruined my life
