Hi Harrison,

I love your 'reborn'statement , it gives me real optimism.

I'm really just concerned that my positivity about the surgery is naive but I have strugged with chronic pain for years and until now there seemed to be little hope. All I have read leaves me feeling that this surgery may just give me enough relief to enable the core stability work my spine badly needs. I am currently in the catch 22 situation where the barest amount of exercise leaves me in the most horrendous flare up.

I am also worried about Physio - I want to do the very best for myself after the surgery but post IDET I was given very bad advice by the Physio. My Osteo threw her hands up in horror when I told her what I was being asked to do as, like many of us on here, I have complex issues in my spine and not just problems with the surgery site.

I really appreciate all the support you give members on here - thank you.

Shirley
