Hi Susan

i just read your story, and i do hope since then you have managed to find someone to help you,
my mother is 48, and she has had a lower back operation, that was 2 years ago, she is worse off now than what she was then, we have no idea what it is they operated on, they fused the lower disc, but apparently there was no disc to start off with? the doctors can give no explanation as to what is wrong with my mom, but all i know is she is in severe pain 24/7, she can barley move around at her job, and i am worried that she will be reduced to a wheelchair, as standing is painfull too. she went to a specialist who told her when they fused her lower back they may have damaged a nerve.. but no one can give us a real answer. i am now trying to find someone who is willing to help me, ar at least look at my mothers files...

i truely hope you are well.

kind regards
shirene.
