Another update.
I had my appt with Matthew Scott-Young and was very impressed. He's extremely thorough and seems to be on a real mission to provide surgical excellence.
I really can't recommend him highly enough.
He is 99% certain as to what surgery I'll be having but wants me to have the dreaded discogram first. I'll be having this in 6 weeks time but am also on a cancellation list so hopefully earlier.
I'm ready for surgery now and have confidence in him completely so I'll trust whatever he recommends. His approach really is a breath of fresh air and I urge anyone who is in a similar position to go and see him.
He doesn't mess around and is a straight talker but that's what I needed
Take care
