Nick Cramer - 29 May 2008 19:41 GMT Last night, my wife noticed a lump on my cervical vertebra(e). I'm already scheduled to see my Diabetician/Primary Care Physician on Monday. I know he'll send me for tests or, more likely, to see a specialist. Spinal surgery isn't high on my list of preferred treatments. Oh, well. We shall see.

I had a couple of vertebrae fused last year, and it wasn't as bad as I imagined. But it's obviously nicer if you can avoid all that!

Thanks, Cindy. My kid brother just had some kind of spacers put between several of his vertebrae. He was kind of leery of the procedure, but his back pain is now gone.

My son who is in the AF has had disk surgery twice and seems like he will be going in again, he had a friend who had an artificial disk put in to replace a bad one...he is hoping they can do that to him. They are talking about seeing if he is healthy enough to stay in the AF because of his back...if not he will be getting a medical discharge which he doesn't want because he wants to retire from the AF.

But it's obviously nicer if you can avoid all that! Thanks, Cindy. About 25 years ago, a friend of mine had to have surgery to remove a tumor that was wrapped around his spine. He came out of it OK.

Please try not to worry. I think of all the wasted worry and angst I expended recently with my prostate biopsy and the wait for the results. All for nothing.

Seriously, hope it's something trivial. Even if it isn't sounds like she's spotted it early which will help.
Fingers crossed for you
