R.A damages hips
I was told this week that I need a new right hip and am gutted to say the least as im still getting over spinal surgery I had back in Nov 2014 when I had 3 discs removed from my neck (4,5,6,7 vertebrae) and replaced with carbon fibre cages due to R.A damage. Anybody else had a hip replacement ?? And

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site so nice to meet you all. I'm a 47 year old lady. In September 2014 I had emergency spinal surgery to remove a tumour. This has left me with cauda equina syndrome.

Diagnosed with AMN
MRI of the brain and neck and spine,
spinal

First appointment at St Thomas'
Well folks, the day has arrived, I'm off to see the Pain Service at St Thomas' this afternoon for assessment. They will be assessing whether I am a candidate for Spinal Cord Stimulation ( SCS) and I'm at that jangly and overwhelmed place of really not wanting to go, not having the stomach for yet more

Where to from here ?
As someone who has previously proffered advice, on this occasion I need some from you guys. I have longstanding acute pain issues, spanning the last 11 years. Following two serious car accidents, the pain across my limbs increased significantly over time and I went from the maximum doses of Tramadol

Recently diagnosed with AMN
Tests, tests, tests. 8 MRI tests,
spinal
tap
, everything. Hereditary Spastic Paraparesia. A big shock. Medicine? Clonazepam and Baclofen. To be fair, the Baclofen did ease the spasticity somewhat, less foot-drop. But, at the cost of me being spaced the entire time.

Feeling downhearted.
I had a two level spinal fusion in December, 18 months after I had a disc replaced in my lower back, apart from the usual post-op pain and discomfort I felt I was doing very well. Then 10 weeks post-op I suffered a severe episode of lower back pain so bad I couldn't straighten out or get up from where

At long last
Pete has his operation date for his spinal cord stimulator to be fitted at long last. After waiting for almost 2 years he is to go into Southampton Hospital on Wednesday 20th May. I now just have to keep him well and hope all will be fine. Thanks to all who have followed this saga. Stay well all. xxx

Spinal cord stimulation
Hi, I need advice on who to contact in the nhs to be put forward for spinal cord stimulation. I am not a confident person and am worried I would be turned down and not have the knowledge to back myself up with knowledge and facts to show I should be considered. I don't know anyone who has had this done

Introducing myself
Hello I’m new to this site although I posted the letter from my cousin to make you laugh like I did or at least smile. I hope that you do not feel this self-indulgent but this is the only way I can let you see why I feel as I do. In the 1970’s I fell through a trapdoor during a performance thus ending
