Hi Lynne

I have just been recently looking at this message board and can sympathise with you greatly with your disappointment with your surgery. I have undergone a number of operations both microscrosurgery and open surgery and I know that awful feeling when you know it hasn't worked or horror upon horrors you feel worse than you did before and quite unbelievedly, no one wants to believe you. I live in the UK and have spent years and lots of money trecking up and down the country.

Good luck
