You might want to get a third opinion.
I was once in the gym doing 800 kilo dead lifts when all of a sudden i felt a twinge in my mid back then a tearing sound followed by a loud cracking sound. I fell to the floor in pain. When i came to in the hospital the doctor told me that i'd had 'high velocity vertibral disc expulsion'. Apparently, when i was performing the dead lift, the pressure was so intense that two of my spinal discs had ruptured and shot out through my back and lodged into the ceiling of the gym. The discs were destroyed upon impact and they only managed to recover fragments from the holes that they created. The doctor informed me that i had to have my whole spine removed because this may occur again, he also informed me that the police had enquired has to what had happened because they were looking to charge me with discharging a deadly weapon in public! The doctor told me that total spinal removal was my only option because the police had a court order from the local judge stating that my spine was classed as a lethal/dangerous weapon that i wasn't licenced for. From that moment, my spine was marked for confiscation and destruction under the Unlicenced Dangerous Weapons Act 1985. I asked my doctor what i will be like without my spine and he said that because my back was so strong i wouldn't even notice. All i had to do was to keep on doing intense back exercises and keep my muscles strong and that would be enough for me to carry on with a normal life. Wrong! I had the surgery without anesthetic because i had to be awake while they worked around my spinal cord. They put me in what they called a vertribusis, which is a contraption that locks you in to a position whereby they can get better access for this procedure. I was totally naked with my knees at the side of my ears and my arse in the air while thay started the procedure. It took 3 and a half hours to complete and was quite painful. I now regret letting them do this to me since talking to another doctor who told me of a similar case and what he did. He said he had devised a 'High Velocity Disc Disrupter' that could be used to sheild the spine and stop any stray discs from shooting through the back and causing injury to others. He said the surgery was painless and took only 1 hour to complete. I must say, i was a little upset to find this out!
This was two years ago now and i'm still without a spine. I have 34 floating ribs and my head leans to one side constantly. The only upside to this is that i've learnt to suck myself off. My first attempt at this was rather embarrasing because i nearly chocked to death after forcing my legs over my head and inserting my penis into my mouth. I realised that the weight of my legs was too much for my back to handle and i couldn't get my cock from out of my throat. I was lucky that my grandma and my mother found me in time and helped me out of this unfortunate situation. Any way i've now mastered this art and i use a rope a pulley system to lower my legs down and pull them back up again.
Life without a spine is quite difficult but i'm still training hard. People in the gym say i'm an inspiration to them but they still wont train behind me whenever i'm doing a back workout for fear of catching a disc in the head. Still, i'll never pay for blow job again.
So please get a second, third opinion before having ya spleen ripped out.
I wonder if they sold my spine.
