Thanks for the comments
Interesting reading about the fusing of new disc's.
I had applied to get on the pain manegemnt course at The Royal North Shore hospital in Sydney, because I read that it gave good outcomes. After fighting with the workers comp insurer for months to get approval I finally got an apointment in two months time, great news I thought, only thing was i got a call from my case manager at workers comp insurer to tell me they are not going to go ahead with it now as they think its too far for me to travel, about 100klms.
Talk about one step forward and two back.
