I got a call from the doc yesterday,apparently i have a trapped nerve root somewhere between L3 and L4 due to a healed fracture i have as a result of the fall I took,18 months ago( the fracture happened then and it 'healed' on its own )
So they want me there at 5am tomorrow to be admitted as a day patient,so they can sort it out.....how......I have no idea - but traction sounds like the plan - and then they see after a while if the stretch did the trick.
I shall see...

    Rats, CJ!  I was hoping I was wrong with my internet diagnosis!  Nerve entrapments are so very painful.  You must have a very high tolerance.  I hope and pray that this brings you relief.  I will be sending you some positive healing energy throughout the day.  Please keep us posted - Love, Wishy

    sounds scary, but I'm sure the anticipation is worse than the actual treatment.  Good luck and I'll keep you in my thoughts.

    **groan** traction? I hope it helps, but fuck isn't it going to hurt the other err bigger back problem?

    Hi Mimi - thank you very much
    Hi Dbabe - thank you very much too !!
    Hi Wishy - so off the clock you were indeed right - i kinda thought you would be though,as i know you know your stuff.Thank you - and yes,i will be posting about it tomorrow when i come back
    Hi Uni - I have had it before,about 10 years back - so i know what to expect.I have developed a very high tolerance to pain over the years,so i am kind of used to that.I just cant get it out of my mind is all **another sleepless night for CJ** I am hoping that i will snore my way through it though
    Hi Lucy - well i am a little worried about my neck,as the tube from the vpshunt is already in the process of coming loose and one good solid yank in the wrong direction and there will be CSF all over the place.The base of my spine is resting on half a bone,so if they pull that too hard i guess i am crawling out of there !
    HI Woman - thank you,I am sure they will help me a lot
    Hi Fraggles - believe me,there are some days when edward is riverdancing on my ass that i wish i was pregnant - but thank you...

    Do you feel like frankensteins masterpiece yet? man they put you through shit CJ.

    hi Lucy - a bit really - but i feel more like that line from the old Beatles tune 'yesterday'
    it goes something along the lines of 'suddenly,I'm not half the man I used to be,there's a shadow hanging over me'
    makes sense in a way
  • Lucytorial said on Jan 15, 2009....
    well it does I suppose, then again you have strength enough for this and more.  How long until your op hon?
  • cuppajava said on Jan 15, 2009....
    well they have said that they are planning it for March 25th - but that all depends what happens after tomorrow,it this little 'experiment' works then its should be fine.If not,then who knows.It just gone half after midnight here.I think i better cash in my chips and head off to bed - i will let you all know how it goes in the end...
