Saw my GP on Monday. Said the Lumbar MRI revealed some needed work done on my spine. We talked about time, my wife's surgeon is booked into next fall. I told him my impression of Canadian back surgery was that it was in the stone ages, fusion being the only thing they offer. He didn't argue, said he would refer me to any surgeon , even for ADR, which he wasn't as negatively vocal about as before.
He said he could refer me to a young surgeon that he knew , he says he's as good as my wife's surgeon. I went along with it mainly to see how long the process would take.
The pain is getting crazy with it almost paralyzing my legs at times. I hope that this referral turns out to be a 4-6 mth process, he knows I can't wait that long
