thanks for all the replies, 

we've been here just 10 days and our stay depends on work and the children settling into life/school here, we've still got a property in the uk which is currenlty rented out until sold or we return.

the issue i have is that i don't have anywhere to stay after the op where i can get help moving and with recovery.

i've enquired about private cover but the insurers i contacted wont' cover existing conditions, even though after i've had the op the no further treatment will be requried, it's becoming unbearable to move some days so i'd like this treated asap, 

advice really appreciated

I'm currently in Spain on a trial basis with the possibility of moving permanently depending on work and the children settling into school. i have been receiving treatment in the uk for a bulging disc in the spine and Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, this has been diagnosed following a cat scan in the uk.
i am due to have surgery to fix the problems in the uk but have not yet been given a timescale on this, however, since arriving in Spain the condition has got worse. My problem is that if i return to the uk i have nowhere to stay and nobody to take care or help me after the operation as my husband will have to stay in spain with the children. my question is - can this operation/treatment be continued in Spain so that I have help post-op as I believe it's quite difficult to be mobile after the spinal surgery. I have an Ehic card, can anbody offer any advice please as I don't know what best to do, thank you
