  • Oh gosh, not been here in a while!

    Hey if any of you remember me!

    I basically had fusion done in 2006 T11-L3 anterior.

    Suffered a lot of pain, had injections discograms and more injecions. Painkillers etc.

    Denervation of my SI joint, last year...

    Eventually saw the great Mr Tucker and we did a posterior T2-L4 fusion

    Things are bad he suspects with my L5/S1 disc so I am waiting for an MRI!

    Long story made short haha...

    Love Lyssie xxx

    Lyssie I have been following you on the other group. I am very glad you are posting here!

    I am so sorry for your set backs but I have always admired your resolve and positive attitude towards finding a resolution.

    I hope the MRI reveals the reason for your pain. You have been through the mill.

    Best regards,

      Thanks so so much for the reply, Sharon!

      I'm not doing at all well with my back but Mr Tucker has sent me for an MRI which I am having on the 18th of April (day before my mums birthday!)

      I also called to make an appointment but the lady didn't have a slot for me quite yet but said she'd note me down so I can get one when is possible, which is good.
