Noooo, I apologise Dr Smith. I was being a little tongue in cheek when i referred to scaring myself silly watching the videos. The only one which had me feeling a little squeamish was the one of getting the facet bone joint injected (im not particularly fond of injections) and that wasn't frightening at all.

I'm just overreacting in regards to my diagnosis and am imagining all of the worse scenarios possible. If anything I'm really finding the links and information you've posted extremely informative and insightful into understanding back pain.

In any case I'll be in more of a position to know what my diagnosis is on Monday after I've seen my GP. Until then i'll stop worrying myself and concentrate on enjoying the weekend!

Cheers and once again many thanks to you : )
