Well, I have seen a Neurosurgeon today at Hull. I am disgusted with him. He will not operate to relieve pressure on nerve. Told me to just leave it and see if it makes itself better. He said we will do nerve conduction studies on both arms. He started talking about he thinks it is Diabetic Polyneuropathy. I said no! We have the scan to prove what it is. It is spinal nerve compression. It was sudden onset. I just feel they are inventing things that are not true so they don’t have to operate. Very annoyed with them and I will be putting a complaint in. Thank you for your help on here Sir.

I got a copy of my GPs letter today, that A&E send them.

It says, “The report shows that the disc between C5 & C6 is protruding into the spinal canal but not compressing the cord. Her case was discussed with Neurosurgeons at Hull who are due to see her in outpatients routinely. Discharged back to your care now we have ruled out surgical emergency but would be grateful if you could chase the date of the Neurosurgical OPD for her as it has clearly caused her a great deal of consternation already.”

Before they told me it was C6 C7 at fault. I wish they wouldn’t keep telling me different things.

Thank you Sir. It’s very complicated isn’t it.
