I STARTED EXPERIENCING BACK PAIN AT THE AGE OF 9 BUT NOBODY TOOK IT SERIOUS.I WAS GIVEN PAIN RELIEVERS AND THE SUBJECT WAS CLOSED.In 2003 when the problem got serious i was diagnose of slip disk and i was treated for slip disk but after 8weeks on traction and there was no relieve i had an MRI which showed that i had a POSTERIOR PROLAPSE DISK OF THE CAUDA EQUINA AT THE L4/L5 LEVEL.All i was told by the doctors was that i needed surgery.
Because of so many reasons i have not been able to undergo one but now i am ready for one but dont have an idea of any hospital in any part of the world to go to.I'm 23yrs old now and i've lived with these problem since i was 9yrs making it 14yrs of burden and i want to get rid of it.
Any direction to a good surgeon or hospital will be appreciated.
