Well done Nigel, it all sounds good. You were discharged even quicker than me!
Glad you got some info on the procedure, I think it helps a lot to know what was actually done and why.
Your experience of pain medication was exactly the same as mine. In the second week - I think - I did get some severe pain which worried me and I had to take Arcoxia (now banned I think) but soon went back on paracetamol for the same reasons as you. The more you can move around the quicker your recovery I think.
I'm very angry at the moment as my first outpatient appointment for my cervical fusion has been delayed for a further 2 months, from January 7th to March 3rd.
Thats despite letters from my GP and Mr S at Hastings. Wonderful. Not my happiest weekend.
Anyway, glad to know you're on the up!
Be in touch
Lynette
