I had a myelogram to investigate back pain after I had my daughter, thirty years ago. (Unbeknown to me, the dye most likely used was not licensed for this use as it is highly corrosive.) I had a laminectomy, discs removed. I still had pain so was given a second myelogram. This second myelogram showed up mild arachnoiditis. Having never heard the word I started some investigation. I realised their was a group action against the drug company and I only had three weeks to join it.
I concluded that a protracted legal suit would take up a lot of emotional energy that would be put to better use in coping with the pain and increasing disability. I challenged the Consultant, Professor Pickard, but he tried to bluff his way, saying he thought the problem would heal of its own accord in a couple of years. I realised further contact with him was pointless.
I began the long journey of trying to find adequate pain relief.
