    Hi Barbara,
    I do hope your results have given you some answers and things start to finally sort themselves out for you.
    It has been a very frustrating journey for you.

    Can I just say a big thank you to Jillyb, Cris, Elaine and litlle Sol, Katie, Hileena, Lynn, Sue, Elizebeth, Elna, Toni, Tracy, Ironic and DD
    Well to cut a long story short my back is buggered.. :shock: L2 to L4 protusions...L4/L5 impingement on nerve root I wont go on there are a couple of others but the worst one was when he said a benign tumour or haemangiomas on T1-T2......I also have a couple of Ls....but Im sure you are all bored by now....I could have surgery, injections or stay on meds...
    the good news is I got a new strimmer from B&. while I was there :lol:
    Thankyou so much for your support it is priceless
    Love and hugs to you all

    Oh, dear, dear Barbara, what a terrible shock. No wonder you are in such pain. It is not just the base of the spine but the neck end too and the Ls inbetween. My heart goes out to you and you can still joke about the good news being you got a new strimmer. I am sure I would be in floods of tears. I am so very sorry for you to have heard all that today. I am wondering whether the surgeon went into any detail what he would suggest your plan of action may be, but you may well have switched off by then after hearing the new that you did. I do hope that someone accompanied you to this appointment as well as the pocket dwellers.

    I wish I knew what to say, Barbara, why does this have to happen to someone as lovely as you.

    I am thinking of you,

    Lots of love

    Hi Dotty and Elna
    Dotty...the injections didnt work last time....so I think meds
    Elna...I was already ar B&. thats where the care uk units are so we bought a strimmer :grin: ...he was a lovely polish doctor...and I mean lovely...it was a bit of a shock...when he said the tumour was benign....he examined me and said that I have reasonable movement in the hips but not a lot....the good news is the gabapentin seem to be working on the sciatica...
    Thank you for being there
    Love
    Barbara xx

    Hi Barbara,
    I'm so sorry, what awful pain you must be in, and it must have come as quite a shock to hear what the Dr said.
    I think you are an amazingly brave lady, as well as a kind and supportive one too :grin:
    Sending healing hugs your way
