Ok so I have been off work now for just over 10 months with a L4-L5,L5-S1 disc protrusion combined with Sciatica down both legs all the way to the toes. Sounds massive huh? Yeah it kinda is when you add the 24/7 pain & the fact that painkillers really don't work alot for me anymore. I can't sit or stand for long & it's driving me nuts.
Anyway, I have a great Dr who understands (not like my last one) and he has finally referred me to an orthopedic surgeon (back person) & I managed to get an appointment..... in November. Cup day to be exact, no idea how that works out, but at least I do not have to pay for it..... work does. Wonder why they cost me my life.
There is also a lawyer waiting in the wings till after I see my back person to try to get me some compensation. I know then that it will mean the end of my WorkCover payments, I don't care. They ruined my life, my family's life & any kind of hope for me in the future.
I thrilled to finally see a specialist though.
