Hello janelgo1952,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.
Here is the link to the
Spinal Disorders & Back Pain Forum
I'm sure the members there will be able to offer you their opinions and also support and information. It must have been a very difficult decision at the time to postpone your scheduled surgery, but you're asking all the questions that we as patients need to ask, so it's not as if you've not thought about it all in depth.
I hope you end up finding someone that you trust.
