Default Back Surgery

I'm in the medical field--nurse anesthetist-- and there is no simple solution. Back surgery is no guarantee for a cure. It's a very slippery slope. Not like taking your appendix or gallbladder out. You have to exhaust all opportunities before having this done. Physical therapy, meds, injections etc. Once you just can't stand it any longer go for it. Make sure you go to a highly recommended neurosurgeon in your area vs. an orthopedic surgeon IMHO. Good luck.
