Hope all goes well for you Nigel and you are soon fighting fit. Know about back pain - not nice at all.

All the very best to you and yours for the coming festive season.

Nigel, I wish you well with your operation...if it helps at all, I had a Discectomy in 1982...I was only off flying for a month or so and have had no problems since.

I do treat my back with care though, especially with lifting :agree:

I'm sure you'll already have thought of this, Nigel, but it'd make a really nice and useful christmas present for Mrs H-J.

A health and safety course in manual lifting. That way you'll know that she won't be able to shirk her responsibilities - like carrying you to bed after christmas lunch!

I hope you're better soon.

Ian :)

Hi Chaps

Very many thanks to you all for your support, went up to Sheffield yesterday for pre-op medical and all went well, have been told that I will be in for about 2-3 days then home!!! :excited:

Peter, nice to know that you have not had any further pain and sounds like the operation is a permanent fix, I think mine was caused through lifting the front sliding door off the runners which was quite heavy to get a new three piece suite in, the door has now gone and we have had a bigger one fitted so no more problems there....hopefully!! :worried:

Ian, the poor wife only weighs around 8 stone and with my build the only chance she has of getting me to bed (no rude comments please, this is a family forum) :-# would be to drag me along the floor!!!! :lol:

Again, many thanks and look forward to the New Year when I can get back to the library.

Kind regards
Nigel.

Adding to DelP's suggestion,how about treating your wife to a body building course then she will be more able to carry you around.It's no use employing a wife and not getting your moneys worth! :hide: EricT
Keep us updated Nigel. :)

Best wishes Nigel. I know how you feel. I have a back problem and they would like to put a steel brace in my back. However with the current job climate I will postpone it for a while.

Sorry to hear that Simon :'(

It's not nice is it and feeling like you dare not get the treatment in case life kicks back at you is so wrong but sadly a fact of modern life. :rant:

Hope you can get something done :worried:
