Doctor Borodin advises.....
I have spent the best part of thirty years (and a small fortune on chiropractors and physiotherapists) being treated for three diagnosed herniated discs, only to discover earlier this year that I have non malignant but inoperable tarlov cysts on the base of my spinal column putting extremely painful pressure on the nerves. No other back problems at all....Grrrrrr !!
I strongly recommend anyone suffering painful back symptoms to insist on having an MRI scan of that area as apparently my condition is regularly misdiagnosed as the well known 'slipped disc'.

On that happy note I shall take this opportunity to say I sincerely hope you enjoy the last months of your 40's and embrace your 50's with welcoming arms. :thumbup:

Oh, mine definitely came from a slipped disc. Heard and felt it pop out and pop back again. Excruciating. Crawled on the floor for a bit before the whistling in my ears got my attention. Had a sip of water which brought me around and spent the next 3 weeks on my back. Couldn't even sit down the pain was too bad. Still playing me up now 2 years later.

That's a fairly rare condition. Have you tried non surgical procedures such as aspiration? They can be dealt with so fight on.

Apparently it's rarity is compounded by the fact it is often misdiagnosed and missed, no-one truly knows how many cases are out there. An operation is rarely successful and extremely risky due to the area being treated. It involves injecting a glue into the cyst but invariably it refills with spinal fluid after just a few months. Results are most disappointing statistically.

I unknowingly made my condition worse with all the manual labour I did renovating our property when we moved. It's imperative they do not grow any bigger. They already affect the nerves in my legs, feet and abdomen causing tingling and burning sensations. I just have to take it easy and wear my back brace when doing light work.

I'm just glad I finally know what was really causing the symptoms and that it was nothing more sinister.

Okay let's shut Doctor Borodin's back clinic and get back to the subject of learning to grow older with grace and dignity :roflmao: :roflmao: or maybe not ;)
:coys:
 
Sorry, is there something wrong with this poll?

One of my old friends was the son of a barrister involved in the Bulger case and told me a lot of stuff that never made the press. There’s no age-cap on evil scum. They should have been in for life.
 
Quite a good cross section of ages to be fair, largest two ranges as expected (between 25/54) with below and above that about the same. :thumbup:
