Hi everyone.
I hope you are all managing your pain as well as you can do!!
My name is Jonathon and I live in UK.
I had a road traffic accident in 1977 which eventually resulted in my having to have 5 left hip replacements at the Royal London Hospital,the last being in 2009.
Over this time my replacements "migrated" leaving me with a pronounced limp;which in turn has worn away at least 2 of my lumbar disks,(L4/5 -L5/S1).After several years spent searching for a solution,I came across an excellent site in UK,(
www.adrsupport.uk)run by the ever-supportive Alastair,amongst others,who also posts on here.
Long story short,after visiting the site several times I identified a surgeon,Mr I.M Shackleford,who,after several years of trying an assortment of less invasive measures,including spinal epi's,caudal epi's,facet joint injections etc,is now about to perform a 2-level ADR on October 4th with my pre-op on 21st September.
The operation will be carried out courtesy of our National Health Service.
Anyway,that's my story,(so far),and I will naturally keep you posted as to my progress!
With kind regards,
Jonathon.
