Hi JFerg & thanks. The health service in the UK can be somewhat third world at times
Luckily my husbands job gives us the private insurance with BUPA.
I'm now getting quite nervous about my appointment on Monday! I've seen Mr Lam on the TV (which is where I first found out about the op) & have read nothing but praise for him but there's still that bit of insecurity because of how badly I've been treated (& ignored) for so many years.
Alistair ~ I emailed you earlier in the week but not sure if you got it?

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