This page will help you to understand more about your surgery. It will also give you tips on how you can help your recovery after your back operation. Irritation or pressure (compression) of one or more of the nerves in your back causes pain in your back or legs. You may need to have surgery if the pain is not easing. Before the decision is made to have surgery, you may have several tests such as an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan, a CT (Computerised Tomography) scan or X-rays. This is for your doctor to be sure of the diagnosis and to see at which level in the back the nerve is being compressed.

This page is to inform you about how some of your medicines will be supplied. The medicine(s) shown on this page will be delivered to you by a clinical homecare provider. The hospital clinical team uses a homecare provider to dispense and deliver certain medicines. At your hospital appointment your medication will be reviewed and a prescription written. You will not need to collect the medication from the pharmacy department in the hospital or get a prescription from your GP. Instead, your prescription will be sent directly to the homecare provider specified. Within a few days of receiving your prescription the homecare provider will call you to arrange a time and location for the delivery of your medication (and any other items required to use the medicine such as syringes). In addition to this page, you may be sent an information pack from the homecare provider. The pack will give you more details about the service they offer and provide you with the contact details of the homecare Patient Services department. This will enable you to contact them if you have any concerns or if you no longer wish to use this service.
