Medical MistreatmentI presented with sciatic pain at the age of 17, that was in 1960. I was sent by my doctor to see an Orthopedic consultant and within a very short space of time told me he wanted me to go into a plaster cast. This man didn't tell me why I was to have this treatment and being only 17 years old, I didn't like to ask too much although i wanted to. The doctor it seems wasn't enlightened as doctors are today in terms of providing information to patients.Plaster was on for six months and this was followed by a further plaster for another six months. I had no relief to my pain and then i also had trouble brewing on my left hip. I had no relief and suffered this until laminectomy in 1981 and this too was unsuccessful. My pain continued and in 2005 i was told by a neurosurgeon that the laminectomy hadn't been performed as all. My lamina were still intact. i couldn't believe what i was hearing! That neurologist then said to me do you know you have a scoliosis in your lumbar spine, and i told him nobody has ever told me. These facts were all authenticated by CT and MRI scan.
