Only difference is the surgeon, so a tip for anyone having major surgery
do your home work, I'm trapped in the Workcare circus and have to take what's given to me
but Prof Teddy knows his stuff

Good luck mate! You know what they say... 17th time's a charm! :bigthumbup:

Having another spinal cord stimulator implanted.
Technology has moved forward , so hopefully this one
will work, They wont be doing a vertical Operation
as after 16 Op my back splits open ,they say its like trying to
stitch 6 chops together. Better bloody work. too much fishing and ppl to meet.
Went to the docs this morning and fell down so timing is right, bloody embarrassing though.
Then its ok when it settles down.

John has advised that the Staples come out Monday Week and then lots of Gym Work to build up strength in Back Muscles.
In no Pain now.
Now just one more hurdle and that is get off the Meds and John has advised that he has gone cold Turkey so that will be another challenge.
The Meds that John was on were quite strong and addictive.(That explaines some of his incoherent Posts) LOL
