Hi Min and David I have no idea yet wwhat type of sugery it will be ,but kyphoplasty wasnt mentioned so I assume it wasnt that ! I will keep you posted Min , I hope Pters next procedure sorts his pain out . David I am so jealous of your x-ray I would love a copy of my back x-ray as docs are usually in awe of the metal work which keeps my spine intact , (whats left of it !)It is amazing the techniques they can use now and I am so grateful they were able to keep me walking love Bridgetx
