Hi @Maca
Good Evening & Welcome ??
I’m very very sorry to hear about your current situation.
Unfortunately we aren’t able to give you any medical advice!!!!!
We are only able to offer “Support & Info”
Buy the looks of things your back will only get “worse and worse”
So if the docs are saying that you need an opp to make things better.
You need to way up if you can continue taking the pain which will only get worse!!!!
Or have the opp & get better in time ??????
Please please let me know if you need anything else that I can help you with ???????

Hi @Maca, and a warm welcome to the community!
Thanks for sharing this with us, and I'm so sorry to hear about your pain. Unfortunately this isn't something we're able to do, as we're not medical professionals. I would advise booking an appointment with your GP instead, is this something you can do?0
