Anyone interested in 21 pieces of surgical steel only used once & well looked after

I'll just pop down to the Surgical orthodaedic unit and ask if anyones interested.....

Chronic pain is very difficult to aleviate completely

Often its about making choices regarding treatment that improve quality of life...

Pain Managment Clinic at my Hospital uses Botox under MRI immaging.I wonder if this is what is being offered here?

Off topic slightly but I had the option of an operation to kill the raw nerve bases on my spine (c4, c5, c6, c7 and t1) some years back. Involved using a lazer to burn the areas of my spinal cord that were affected, I was told the operation would last up to 12hrs, that my neck would take up to 3 mths to come right again, and that there was a 30% chance it wouldn't work and a 25% that I would lose the use of my left leg. I'm sitting here in excruciating pain right now but at least I'm not in a wheelchair (wouldn't be able to use crutches if I lost the use of my leg).
