I felt railroaded into having surgery from the first instance, but I was assured that it was a simple procedure with minimal risk. However, the operation didn't go well. First, the surgeon underestimated the drop in my spinal cord due to pre-diagnosed spondylolisthesis, and duly he got the tooling stuck during the procedure. While removing the tool, he cut through a ligament that had to be repaired. Then this necessitated a different surgical technique where a muscle was cut through. Immediately after the operation, the surgeon then explained, and I quote, "my gut feeling is that I've introduced instability, and you will need further surgery". I have had more pain and stiffness since surgery, yet the surgeon insists on telling me how this is normal at every appointment. At no point do I feel I have been listened to, and I get the impression he would rather not see me at all. Lastly, the surgeon said that to check on the progress of the spondylolisthesis; he would schedule regular x-rays, yet when I asked when this would start, he then informed me that x-rays were done shortly after surgery and things should be Ok for a number of years so there will be no follow up x-rays/checks. Quiet how I need them one month, but then I don't a short while later seems strange to me?
