Sending you lots of hugs :A Hope you get your op soon- this is soooo painful.
Just over a year ago this happened to my hubby but like you it took them a while to diagnose it. First time he had ever been ill. Dr sent him to physio and signed him off work saying these things have a habit of sorting themselves (which I know they do). Husband went to physio - didn't even want to get in car to go as in so much pain - he came out saying physio wouldn't touch him as in so much pain:eek: That night I called NHS helpline (only relief was for him to kneel on floor over bed and spent hours llike that was worried he would get DVT then this terrible moaning I was so worried for him). Ambulance came - morphine to get him out of the house took over an hour! Touch and go whether they would operate the following day. They then decided to refer to neurologist to see if op necessary. Only after going to A&E did he get referred to neurology and MIR scan (scan was quick and first confirmation of prolapse disc but 3months to see neurologist!) By then he could walk (with the help of lots of medication). He is still very stiff - and rattles with all the painkillers. However neurologist when he saw him said it was moving in the right direction and op not necessary!:eek:
Had a relapse this Sept so has increased his painkillers -but needing to work with everything else going on at present... Got referred to physio again who again did very little and signed him off - as going in the right direction. Think i need to tell hubby to stop taking painkillers and inflammatories before seeing physio and specialists. They help tremendously but I wonder if he is damaging himself ...
Anyhow this was longer than I intended, we've both been extremely healthy til this last year believe it or not! I know your situation even more serious - lots of hugs and they are so lovely and understanding here. You might not get out for bargains but there are other ways to join in so do post!! (Snap ant quiz a tonic in itself). :j
Aww thank you for being so kind x
I'm up the hospital next week.......they have told me that I do need a op but we will see what they say when I'm there. I'm getting to the point that the pain is getting me down now as I've been like it since October.
Hope you and your partner are well xbroke my back doing glitching :eek:

Thankyou all.
I feel like such a lemon (I wasn't fishing for sympathy and probably come across as such a drama queen which I'm honestly not trying to be).
I have a well being meeting in an hour so in response to Patty and everyone who said to get my bum to the docs, I am already on the radar and blood tests for iron and thyroid have alreqady been mentioned - I'm probably just a bet more emotional today than normal knowing my meeting is later (which I actually look forward to as I get to offload)
I figured out the PP thing - I hadn't seen the print button was all (couldn't see the woods for the trees) - Will try to remember where I put my original reciept not to take with me, I shall be fully armed with your advice to make sure I get my 17pHistoric Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!

MSE breaking news. Supermarket operator Tesco will launch a strategic review of its money-losing "Flesh & Greasy" chain of expless stores in Korea, following complaints from customers about its controversial "Not Poodle" product.
One angry customer commented " When I buy dog I don't expect to get horse".
