I've been diagnosed as having a very narrow spine, spinal stenosis.
I go into hospital on the 7th of November to have a spinal decompression & coflex stabilisation (a titanium implant inserted) & hydrocortisone injection to the coccyx. The spinal injections for the pain didn't work. 
I tore ligaments & tendons in my shoulder with being stubborn & using a walking stick instead of the chair. I got a hydrocortisone injection in that & it didn't work either.
I'm not guaranteed anything from the surgery but it can't be anywhere near the pain I'm enduring at the moment.
I'm on high doses of morphine with a cocktail of medicines. 
I've still got the hernias but they can be dealt with later... I hope!
I don't ave any hormones in my body & can't start HRT until i've had my surgery. 
Looking forward to a bit of light in the future....
I can eat after my last surgery so there's a plus to everything!
The scar from last years op is healing nicely...
Still the eternal optimist!
