Undiagnosed scoliosis for 10 plus years

in January this year I was shocked to find that I had scoliosis and that not once had my Dr or back specialist mentioned it to me.

I knew I had severe spinal stenosis.

For most of my life I have suffered with great pain and the few times I was ‘allowed’ to see my MRI notes I was very worried about my collapsing back.

Also, my head tumour and pituitary gland tumour was kept from me for many years, also showed on my MRI scan when my neck was also scanned.

I had an operation privately a week later. However, I caught E.coli in hospital and lost most of the sight in my left eye plus have bladder problems due to the surgeons misuse during the surgery. I now have to use a catheter and if the nerve damage doesn’t improve, will always use them.

Has anyone else has these problems?

Naturally the back specialist denied he was responsible but the Urologist plus Eye Specialist both confirmed it.
