k9Kssr- I went through the same thing as you , ruptured the disc between L5 and S1 and had my left leg go completely numb after experiancing the wildest pain that I had ever gone through. LIke an idiot i chose not to have surgery and try to let it get better on its own, and if I do something stupid I really suffer.

I know a guy who was getting jerked around not by the system but by his doctor, He resorted to something that I didn't think would work but it did, he went to the emergency depatment at the hospital in Brandon , which is the nearest large centre where he could get surgery for back problems, and laid on the floor and screamed bloody murder and any time they tried to move him he screamed more, he received a CT scan within 2 hours and had Surgery the next morning and had good results, some people are so creative.
The way that they do things with the priotity rating I feel at times does cause problems, if you have a doctor that is just a little bit backwards at pushing the system you could be one that has to wait. I think that in both public and private health care the primary doctor can make a big difference in the outcome of a condition.
I don't know about the age thing but I know that my dad is 85 and is on his second hip replacement on the same side and this one is worn out and they are trying to get him to go in and have it replaced, and he refuses to go, he feels that it might kill him.
I'm happy that your surgery worked well for you.
