Today was a super dark day. I am 28 years old, 2.5 years ago, i hurt my back while doing IPPT shuttle run... and subsequently, i got a 'slipped disc'. I was referred to Changi Hospital for specialist examination, but the 'senior' orthopedic was Super uncaring and asked me take some painkiller and look for him 2 months later. I resorted to looking for a specialist in a private Hospital near my house. I took a MRI and found out the disc was budging into my nerve like a big pimple. The MRI scan shows the herniation is at L4/L5. I was advised for open surgery immediately. After the surgery, it felt better but the pain was still niggling. I often get muscle cramp and pain radiating down. I tahan for very long. Find this doc again and he told me it is normal, never ask me to take post MRI scan. Keep telling me to swim more and charge me his expensive specialist bill i trusted him But the pain was getting worse, I decided to seek a different opinion from another specialist (pain management), took a post MRI scan. Discovery - my L4/L5 is still budging against my nerve like a big pimple!!! and My L5 lamina bone was cut to operate on the disc. This specialist and my general physician both said it should be operated from L4 and not L5. They said i have little choice, I need to do another a 2nd open surgery.... with no more L5 bone to support, i most likely need to be fixed with metal n screws. I spent so much money to be screwed? super dissapointed I am going to confront this private hospital specialist tomorrow and lodge a report with the hospital management and medical council. If all fail, i will engage a lawyer. Anyone with experience in this?
