Today I get to go to another specialist for my back. My doctor allready informed me this guy will not touch me, but get his opion on how he would fix it. Seems like a waste of time to me. But, I will go. I go back to my surgeon next month to schedule my surgery. I guess I just wanted to vent a little, hope I do not offend anyone by doing this. thanks tazz

Good luck TT, I had the same kind of thing last week. I hope your outcome is more successful than mine :-6

Thank you very much. Hopefully, next month I will have the next surgery. I also found out from reg. doctor I will most likely need alot more. I guess I just have to get use to the fact that my back just does not like me. Hope you are doing good Suzy.

I ok thanks, they have told me that they will not attempt to go back into my back, far to much scar tissue

Good luck Tater.....I'll be thinking of you:-4

They got body shops for cars , they should have them for us then we could drive in have a full service and all worn parts replaced with new ones , drive out wallah , IF ONLY

Anyway hope things improve for you :-4

I'd have been written off a long time ago :rolleyes:

Tater & Suzy,

Doctors appts the last few weeks - DR.'s refuse to open me up again.

I also have scar tissue, literally controls whether you'll move or not.

So, my back condition will not get any better - I've started stretching & stretching.

Yes it hurts - I also swim and exercise in the pool, and it seems to release alittle.

I'm 50 yrs old - if I don't start moving - I won't be moving at 60.

Good luck Tater

Patsy, it's horrible to be told that nothing can be done :-5 That is what he said to me last week.

I am having acupuncture in my shoulder and physio as my shoulders are restricting my arm movement, you are right about the stretching though, if we don't do that the muscles and tendons will shrink and we will have even less movement.

Looks as though I will be back in for more surgery before the year is out as they have found something, so my stomach will be opened up for the 5th time in less than 3 years, I already have a stomach full of adhesion's and not forgetting they have to peel back all the titanium mesh that they fitted a year ago, oh joy!!!



Keep on with the exercise and swimming :-4

I go to these Dr. Appts. - they're a waste of time, its upsetting - frustrating..

My primary DR doesn't even know where to send me anymore.

Obgyn don't want to see nor can help me - I don't have any gear, so that DR won't proceed further - Othor. surgeon says, the pain I'm experiencing is not my spine.

I just had a CT Scan - you drink the contrast prior to exam - then at the exam the IV starts with iodine - major hot flash, like I need another one.!!

Tests show nothing and no one will remove scar tissue at this time, heres a pill.

I also have the metal mess
