It's amazing what modern medicine can do innit.

They dyed my blood and stuffed me back in the magnetic tumble dryer to get some better contrasting pics.

    he's going bionic, soon when he's typing posts we'll be hearing that noise, and even though he's going really really really fast it will look like he's in slow motion!

    So, I received the results today of the MRI scan on my back today.

    I have a massively prolapsed disc which would have been 'catastrophic' had my spinal canal not been 'abnormally large'.

    I had Meningitis when I was a kid and this is likely to be a result of the lumbar punctures I had to cure me... looking at the MRI you can see that my nerves are all 'clumped together' in a bit of a mess really (which is indicative of Meningitis).

    I have 2 options:

    1 leave it as it is. Eventually the disc will shrivel / shrink in size and will stop pressing on the nerve that makes my leg so very painful. It could take anywhere between 1 and 5 years for this to happen

    2 have an operation to have the disc removed. 3 days in hospital and 2-4 weeks recuperation time. There are, of course, problems that can occur in surgery... they could fuck up some nerves whilst removing the disc which would make my left leg numb and cause me to have 'bowel problems'. I could get an infection and end up with Meningitis again.

    wow, neither option sounds very good to me. gl dude! xx [nh]
  • nickonicko
    edited 6:03AM
    Obviously option 2 is the way to go innit

    And thanks :smile:

    Oh nicko!!!! :-(

    Yes both choices are not *golden* but I think you are making the right one.

    ALL POSITIVE THOUGHT AND ENERGY coming your way from my house in NYC!!

    love,
    Ve.

    damn nicko. which ever option you choose, you'll be in my thoughts man.
  • mickmick
    edited 6:03AM
    it's a tough choice, nicko.

    most people would choose the surgery, yes.

    the surgery is relatively routine (except that it's on YOU!); the recovery will be all about how well you're able to adjust to the restrictions post-op.

    :) we'll all be cheering you on; that can be irritating as hell, but luv is tuff.

    Wow.

    Living with scoliosis, I would almost just endure the pain in hopes a more successful operation would come, or it would shrink before that. Good luck and best wishes if you go under the knife.
