Arthroscopic Laser Surgery - back and sciatica Posted: 11-22-07 11:43am
Dear Docs,
Could you perhaps help me, I've been
reading so many posts regarding
'arthroscopic laser surgery' and many
people have been overwhelmed with the
results. Would you know of anyone
performing this procedure in England (I'm
based in London) or maybe Europe?
I've lived with my back and sciatica for
many years. Bec of herniated disc at L5-S1
I had 2 spinal fusions in 1997/98 but to
no avail. After that I've had nearly every
type of pain management from nerve blocks
to imput pain programmes for coping
techniques, learning relaxation etc.
I have set backs and relapses but I'm
always in pain. My GP has me on buckets
of pills at mo as this relapse is really
really bad. She'd like to refer me to a
neurosurgeon.... I'd really like to
explore this avenue too. Any ideas on how
I'd go about it? Please, please, please
help, as not much hair left to pull out
lol. Many thanks, Noelle.

Bonati - Netherlands Posted: 11-22-07 21:01pm
Hello Noelle,
It is my understanding that Bonati has an
intitute in the Netherlands.
A Bonati Institute Seminar is to be held
in Hoopdorp, Holland on February 2, 2008
at the Baton Best Western Amsterdam
Airport Hotel.
Noelle, I would suggest that you go to
their web site and look around. It is
I hope some doctors may know of a laser
spine clinic/institute in England.
Noelle, I would welcome you to the Laser
Spine Surgery thread on EHealth. Several
people have had back surgery at the Bonati
Institute in Florida.

Hi there Rich,
I was trying to send this post to the
'Doctor Questions' bit but couldn't seem
to get that to work (rem 'mushed brain')
ended up here somehow.
Have also been trying to follow LSS thread
re everyone's experiences at/with Bonati
Florida....but seem to keep losing pages
as some answers don't make sense, so
questions must be floating out there
somewhere....I'm taking too many meds I
think...if you don't mind I'd like to pick
yr brain on how to operate these sites
properly thru PM, if that's OK...or point
me in the right direction.
Would like to say tho, reading all the
threads so far have noticed how you've
been so helpful to so many people
imparting important info, words of wisdom,
encouragement and support, always with
heartfelt thoughts and prayers...and all
the while I've glimpsed how hard you've
had yr own mountain to climb.
"Bless You".........I feel real lucky that
you picked up my posts. Cheers.
Will go checkout that website now.
