I have some wear and tear changes in the discs of the spine and at one level there is mild pressure being exerted on one of the nerves that exits from the spine at this level.
i've made a follow up ap i cannot be seen till sept it could be brought foward.

    Hi joan
    I would do the same as you - try to get it brought forwards. There are things they can do if it's causing damage. I put up with mine for too long and had to have major surgery and i still can't feel part of my foot, back of knee and bum because the nerve got too damaged.
    Take care

    Hi I have the same problem in my neck, but they won't operate as its too tricky! :wink: I'm glad you have your results and manage to get your appointment brought forward. Love Sue

    Hi Joan,

    I have the same and what could be operated on has been years ago and as everyone is saying if you can bring it forward please try to as it can be helped quite a lot. Mine is long term and I think Toni will back me up on this, if they go for the operation option go for it as it really does help and good luck as it honestly can be helped. Luv Cris x
