Hi is there anyone else on here suffering from failed back surgery syndrome? I've never been able to speak to anyone else who has this. I have had 15 operations now. Please contact me

Hi, can I ask what the surgery was for? I have not had any yet and not sure if I'll risk it. My spine is fusing from the bottom up and I think is now fused up to my 6th vertebrae. I can stand for a few minutes and then it becomes painful......

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!
