anon are you in america? your doctor is a fucking lunatic. go find literally anyone else. I'm not joking. get any second opinion. you dont do exploratory surgery for spinal injuries. we have imaging for that. you would have to have the something other than the herniated disc to not be able to see everything we needed with the MRI.
that's before we even consider the the bastard telling you that you need steel rods this whole time. those are only for SEVERE injuries. yours is extremely painful but we are looking at chronic pain and wear and tear from not fixing this surgically properly the first time around. your worst case scenario (because you are probably a poor) will be them having to fusing the vertebrae as the backup option if we cant shave off the herniated disc fully.
you should never trust an anon enough to just take action on their word. that would be retarded. I would never ask someone to do something they could not arrive at logically themselves without recourse to a trust that should not be given. that said - I am not telling you to go fix your spine. I am telling you that YOU NEEED more information.
anon you need to get your ass in gear here. you have been pumped full of steroid injections for years - that by itself isnt exactly great for you. you've been in too much chronic pain to do anything with your career. chronic pain by itself is damaging to people's mental health and stability. that's before we consider the practical neurochemistry fuck ups that are present when you are forced to take opiates just to stay sane. the current prognosis is more of the same and just waiting for something else, be it your mind or body to snap.
1. you NEED to take this as seriously as possible. 2. you need a GP who will go to bat for you and quarterback finding you a proper specialist for that second opinion. 3. through him you will find yourself a proper second opinion from someone competent your doc thinks is competent. 4. you NEED to do more research so you can talk to the docs intelligently and craft a narrative that will get them onside. 5. you ought to also up the mental health game as much as possible - there are people who will still take patients.
your whole life has been on hold ever since this injury. that's what I want to say. but that is a lie. it's worse. your life has been on pause but the clock has kept on ticking. you have adopted short term survive until the next day, month, maybe year approach. by not addressing this in big picture strategic terms from the start - you never considered the possibility in 2016 that you may be where you are now. without that benefit, you couldn't properly plan to prevent all of the potential negative outcomes from occuring. you MUST think about yourself 15 years from now. very few of us can say we are working on something so important that 15 years from now we would look back and say "I am glad I prioritized that over my health, career, family:.
get it done anon. I have fiath in you.
