Visit by GP 6 December 2017
I went out today to appointments and left a note for Patrick, my GP, saying he needed to look at my pain meds (given the state of my lumbar vertebrae). I left instructions with the nurse to show him the CT scan.
The nurse told me he did look at them. He has increased my fentanyl patch by 12 mcg, from 25 to 37mcg. He is very concerned and wants me to see a neurosurgen urgently.
The medtronics rep, on seeing the CT scan, had recommended I see Dr Tim Steel of St Vincents. He specialises in difficult surgery and is known to use a cage to surround the spine. Sounds interesting. I have made an appointment - not until 6 March, unfortunately.
Patrick will speak to me on Monday. Hope so, as I have an appointment to see the stoma nurse on Monday!!
