@Avo for extra dollars as I feel our situations are similar, my wife is now my carer
she doesnt have to work but does to keep her mind busy over recent events.
Even got $8k in back pay, might be worth looking into. I was 35 1991 when first injured
and here I am 26yrs later worse off, there is however a new style MRI which is a load bearing
scan no good laying down with all pressure taken off. This one you stand to show where pain is.
Not sure if WA have one yet as I'll be one of the first to use it.
Hope you find some relief know the feeling all to well of feeling useless, its embarrsasing, from a once do it all guy
to now just sitting in a chair, thoughts with you @Avo,
on a lighter note whats with these $8 avos
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

If you are referring to surgery, as in going under the knife, that option has been looked into, and I had asked about it over the first couple of years.
However I was told it's not something that they will consider as the percentage of being worse off (wheelchair/paralysis) is higher than being better than I am now.
Cheers,

As John (Threedogs) kindly mentioned above Evo mate there is some amazing new medical technologies out there these days that might now have a better way of at least scanning to have a second look see. Can still be a scary decision to go under agreed and they certainly do make you sign the old waiver. A blown out C5-6 disc touching my cord with added arthritis crushing my right arm nerves in there was finally found. I just couldn’t handle the intense pins and needles and arm function loss so had to take that chance for me. Fortunately was a great surgeon recommended to me from the oldies and forever thank him and them all !

During my pain journey a few things helped me get to the destination.
Although not easy being able to accept what's happened to me and working out where to from here .
Suddenly realising that the bloke over there with bone cancer or the one over there missing limbs was much worse off than me .
Finding a doc who knows their shit (most important).
Finding people who were in the same boat or similar and who were going through the same thing .
Talking to those around me and letting someone know what was going on in my head , again a difficult thing for a bloke to do but bottling everything up inside only makes things worse .

You don't know me, but I did this for a living. Talk to me if you need to.
As I lay there looking up, taking in the spectacular view that was the night sky and the multitude of stars I asked myself, where did my tent go?

Your an amazing man Avo mate , it takes guts for a bloke to ask that question because most men would rather keep thoughts and feelings to themselves when in reality just that simple act of talking can be like a pressure relief valve .

For once in my life I think I can identify with those people suffering from depression. I've always been a very strong person and tended to deal with things myself, while keeping it all bottled up. Thankfully it's never been related to money or health situations, usually personal relationships within the family or good friends. I've also found that as I've gotten older I've become more emotional. A current issue with a young family member's relationship ending has effected me greatly. I see it as a wasted chance for a great future together, thrown away by choices forced on them by inept & morally wrong family law court decisions, in relation to child custody from a previous relationship. It's a long and heartbreaking story, but it's caused the breakup of a young family by one of them choosing to relocate to be close to the child.
I'm finding it very difficult to deal with at the moment while trying to support both of them. I'm only managing to get about 3-4 hours sleep a night these days and it wears you down. I love and care for both of them and it breaks me up watching it happen. I've tried to convince the one leaving that they need to look at their long term future as a family together, and what benefits that brings, but I do understand the overwhelming emotional need to be close to the child.
Thanks for listening guys, it has helped some by getting this off my chest.
