Yesterday I had a doctors appointment with my doc about my back and what to do about it,my options were surgery or to give pain managaement a try first,im doing pain managaement then hopeing I can get back to a more normal ablity to be mobile with out stifness and pain.I have no clue as to what or when it will start but its best be asap so I can get a move on it.The surgery option is like a barbaric whack job that will leave me unable to bend over cause of the rods and screws and such,my comment was hell no in capitial letters cause with the advance ment of surgery options avalable with new ways of doing things I will look for a better way first.Also they say I have a brusitis pocket in my left shoulder and left hip plus degenertive disk in my back and neck.Now I knew all this a long time ago plus its in my med records and they know it.Frankly im really put out over the lack of the docs getting on the ball with what can be done or not done about it except throw drugs at it,I told them I wasnt going to let them turn me into a paid drug addict just for them to take a short cut at my expense any longer.I really do hope pain management works cause surgery is an option I really dont want to take.
On the other hand they are pleased with my weight loss even tho I have regained a fue as well as my blood sugar being better than it had in a while.Trade off's the god ,bad and the ugly of it all.
