why is it they dont tell us properly what exactly is wrong with us, I went through blood tests a few yrs ago, I found out they were for bone cancer, as the neuro had spotted something on my spine, the nice lady on reception at gps blurted it out, spent quite a few days in tears and shock

[lynz in reply to Hidden]

oh bless you well at least mine wasnt that bad ,you poor thing it must have been such a shock ,hugs to you xxx

[Hidden]

Hi Lindz, just tell your doc to forget about the injections and go straight for the operation.

sorry but i'm going to be truthfull here injection is bloody agony, i had never felt pain like it and i have a high pain threshhold!!

The op is nothing like they say it was instant relief, although once the local wore off it was sore, i was back to work 3 weeks later!

I know everyone one is different with pain, but i thought i would tell you my experience.

good luck.

Hi Lindz, I have to agree with Anne My step daughter and I were both diagnosed at the same time when we lived in Germany! I had the operation almost immediately whilst my step daughter went through months of agonising injections only to have the op anyway! Unfortunately she now has a 'dent' in her wrist where the injections were given! Her recovery period was longer than mine too :/ As I said though our treatment was in Germany so may have been different techniques to back home I hope you get it sorted one way or another (((hugs)))
