My story long and grim but basically had failed surgery for disc prolapse, then further failed surgery to attempt to salvage the situation. I have nerve root damage and severe scarring around the nerve at L5 which won't get better. I'm 48, can't work, take a lot of drugs and have a blue badge. Currently battling several different agencies for ill health retirement and other benefits.
But I'm ok, having some fun despite the pain and have made some lovely friends on here.
So come and join us for moans, advice, downright rants or just a laugh.
