i rang d doc, i seem to be getting sharp pains on both sides now. If they don't ring back in the next hour im going into a and e

Just go now, no sense waiting around in pain, but first give my all your furnis incase you die.

[Richie]

Okay I went. She doesn't know what is wrong with my side, she thinks it's ibs (irritiable bowel syndrom) or it could be related to stress. She did some examinations and I found out I have a *REMOVED* slip disc in my back so if it doesn't fix in 5 days they may have to talk about surgery. Great, just my luck.


thanks for trying to help +rep to those i can

Those are the worst, my sister's boyfriend has a slipped disc and he's been waiting the best part of a year downing morphine hoping it'll solve itself. Waiting lists for surgery are pretty high.

Sorry to hear that Richie, awful news hope it can solve itself

[Richie]

thanks lads

i knew had something wrong with my back as i had pain but didn't think anything of it. It is the lower disc on the right side thats slipped.

[MissAlice]

It's good you got checked out. A scary experience no doubt. At least you know what's wrong with you, and what can be done to help you get better. I hope the pain eases

5 days???? I swear a slipped disc takes weeks to heal :S my mum had it and it took about 5 weeks, I don't think the doctor even considered surgery

It depends on the nature of the slipped disc, it's not like there's only one standard way in which it occurs. Sometimes a doctor will be able to quickly identify it'll fix it self, or whether surgery is the only likely fix or whether it'll be a slow or fast recovery.
