Hi,
Out of curiosity, what is the problem with that Spinal Unit.

Wife of an incomplete SCI - level C5/6 - accident lifting boards above his head in work caused popping sensation in his neck and this was the result. He uses a wheelchair part of the time.
Never say never, and definately do not quit, its usually worth the trying in the end.

Hi,
I had my spinal surgery at James Cook Mboro in July 2006. There were no rehab beds
available so I was sent home with a back care leaflet!! I'm still under the 'care' of the spinal unit
but apart from the urology who have been fantastic, i've been let down several times.
Unfortunately I found it was down to me to find out what treatments were available
and get them through my GP. 2 years on and the spinal unit still hasn't referred me to
my pain team let alone taught me how to cope with anything. This website has been
my best source of info along with my physio.

Hi Lins,
I have had a similar problem with JCUH but I was on their Neuro Ward. I'm 3 years on now, the "routine" spinal operation I had left me a paraplegic :-(
Urology have been great but let down by the rest of the consultants involved.
Hope you are getting your life back on track

My Spinal cord injury dates back to 2004,i spent over 3 months in the James Cook Spinal Unit and i found every member of staff exceptional,they did not treat you as a patient but as a friend.The Physiotherapy staff are so professional and friendly.
I go on a yearly basis for check up to see Mr Mecci,he is so dedicated to his patients and so dedicated to his profession,a real pleasure to know.Very friendly indeed.With a strong dedicated team behind him i look forward to the visit.
