Wow .. what a lovely lovely welcome. It's just starting to sink in that I really am being put forward for a trial. When I first when to see the Pain Specialist in April he didn't think I was an idea candidate as the sciatic pain doesn't always go all the way down to my toes (mostly it goes into the buttock, thigh and knee) .. He referred me for a second opinion and with one thing and another, I didn't get to see the neuro surgeon till September. I really didn't think he would say yes .. when he did, I could have hugged him.

So .. it's the Nurse Specialist on the 8th November .. What sort of thing should I be asking her?
