Just saw the surgeon. He is fitting me in tomorrow arvo. As he is away all next week and sees it as serious!!
I have two herniated discs (which I knew about) plus a nice little surprise of a bone fragment floating around L5. Which is the main reason for my nerve pain. 20 years of rugby and judo will do that to a humans back I guess!!
It's only a small procedure, equivalent of a knee scope (of which I've had a couple). So will be on my feet the next day and have 10 days of nothing then ease back into it.
Still, I'm nervous & can't wait for it to be over.
Thanks DarkOz, jaz and guzzla.
I'm nervous but ill be right.
I'm leaving my undies on this op. last time the nurse told me to remove them before I put my gown on (was getting my knee done). Then I told this to a mates wife, who's a nurse, and she laughed and then said the staff always check out a patients tackle if they have no undies on when under general aesthetic! Lol!
All the best mate. You'll feel a million bucks after it.
I had a shoulder op front and rear, cleared out cartilage from excessive benching + MMA dislocations. Felt like gravel in my socket, was quite painful having it there. So I hear ya.
Cheers Kaz, minchie and Bella!!! Had my last meal!! Was only allowed toast and tea for breakfast before 7am and can drink water til 9am!! Then nothing!! Checking in at 1pm. Ill be hungry!! Lol
Thanks bull!! Yes, wife and I chose some nice ones last night, but as its lower back, I reckon they'll insist they're removed... Hahaha should be funny
