I had lower back surgery 12 years ago, then 6 yrs ago I had 6 impinged nerves in my neck and a slipped disc. I had to wait 4yrs of fighting to get a neck operation which I had a few years ago. I also have lower back spasm again, weak legs, numbness, burning, electrical zaps throughout my body including my face. I still can't get in for my back, just recently had an MRI on my neck and they have found mass compression on cervical cord which to my surprise hospital rang me next day after referral sent and I have a neurosurgeon appointment in a few weeks. Absolutely blew me away with how quick they have been. Not sure why or if they think important tho 🤷♀️. Atm can't hardly stand sit or walk and neck and back pain beyond pain now where iv actually had horrible thoughts of taking my life it may sound drastic to some but for me it's an escape after 13 years of hell. Iv had so many steroid injections guided and physio and dry needling and massages and medication I can't even tell u how much now, with all my stuff I have been rejected by neurosurgery over and over, my relative took their life. I can honestly understand why as my relative felt like a vege state sitting in a chair with no help from anyone except pain killers that don't work just like me.
