[wbehwuecixmihvebu]

Hi everyone

I am new here but been reading a lot of different sites about my condition ,well i have opted to go for the op after having the pain for nearly 6 mths now and the pain is mostley 24/7.Many years ago I had some thing like this but on my right side I just kept leaving it and it got worse then better but i am talking like a few years later it got better but the numbness in my right foot still comes back.I am 45years old, a nan with a 8yr grandson who loves Football playing and watching it well he is now in a team and last saunday was the last straw for me went to watch him and since then i have really suffered with the pain so as the op is getting closer I am hoping it will do the trick. I am going to a London Hospital called Hospital for Neurology and Neurosugery,and must admit all has gone well so far from the 1st appointment right through to the preadmin session. So all wish me luck but i will be back after the op and tell you all how I have got on
bye for now

Good luck!

I am 10 days post op for same - it all seemed to go well and I was up and walking (hobbling with crutches) the next day.

You'll not regret it when you notice the difference straight away - I still have some numbness but it is diminishing with each day

Let us know how it all goes.
