QUOTE (wiggy25 @ 10 Jun 2008, 19:28) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thanks for all the comments guys,
Yep, saw an Osteopath for almost a year, then a Chiropractor.
I then installed a new motor/gearbox on one of our machines and a few days later couldn't actually move at all, which was very frightening!
Thats when I went to see a consultant the first time round. I had the MRI scan which he explained to me about my disc then lost the scan, so going to a different consultant now, and will go through it all again!
I don't care I just need it sorted, this is just a plain nightmare!
I have panels to cut out and layouts to finish, which is a big problem when I can't put much weight on my left leg for more than 5 mins, otherwise I drop like a sack of spuds!
Thanks for the concern guys will keep you all posted.

My dear Susie has exactly your problem - I spent two years being woken up every night as she couldn't help screaming in her sleep as she rolled over.... So I do appreciate how painful it must be!

not 100% perfect it is much, much better and she can now sleep and enjoy life almost as well as she did before... In particular her leg pain (She called it "fire leg") went totally after the op and has only been back for a short time once since the op.
She loves gardening and can't help herself so every now and again she still ends up very sore.... the only things that help are acupuncture and anti-infammatories - a Cortisone injection in the spine does wonders too but these have to be limted to one per year I think!
Look after yourself, watch the chiropractor (they seemed do do more harm than good with Susies problem) and push for some action.... Doctors can be so bloomin slow to act sometimes!
