Good bones

I just thought I should post this. When I came to spain I had a bone scan which showed that my bones were not all that good. So was prescribed Osseor and OsvicalD - this was to strengthen my bones. I was a bit put out when he told me to come back in 2 years.

However, I now go privately (no insurance though) to a surgeon in Valencia (anyone want his name?) who wants to stabilise my back, was supposed to go last month for the op but on in January Anyway he asked for a bone scan, I was chuffed to death when he told me that my bones had omproved no end and that he won't be using a specialist screw to stabilise the rod.

A bone scan here isn't expensive but think that Osseor and OsvicalD is - so thanks Raffa - thats why you are the tops in Valencia.
After being messed about by my doctors in Kendal for many years I went privately in 2009 with Mr Shackleford. Because of my age I couldn't have ADR instead he decompressed L4/5 and L3/4 Still got issues: sciatica, groin pain. Seeing consultant in February in Spain where I now live. We will see ....................
