What are you waiting for?
Ok, i haven't done this in a while, but here is an update. After many different kinds of scans in the last 6 to 12 months (MRI's, ct's, x rays etc),... it has been found that i have degeneration at disc c6 level. Not only does this date back, as far as i have found documented so far, to 2008, but because of this, i am now developing further complications, such as scoliosis, bulging disc & compressed nerve. I refuse to go back & see the surgeon that did my spinal fusion because he had read my results & reports, he would never have put the fusion where he did (to add to that he has permanently paralyzed the right hand side of my larynx, to the point have so far had an implant put in & a further procedure to open the narrowing vocal chord so my GP agrees with me on this) & have therefore been referred to a neurosurgeon from the Cabrini Hospital in Melbourne. Unfortunately he has closed his books for the rest of this year to public patients so has referred me to his colleagues at the Alfred Hospital. I am waiting on confirmation of an appointment & a letter from them notifying me of prioritisation process. Am hoping it will be soon as have now developed spasms in my legs & lower back, which used to happen occasionally at night, but seem more & more frequent of late & are most likely being caused by both the neck problems & the development of scoliosis at L4/L5 level (lower back).
