back surgery last resort

when to consider lumbar surgery

What other treatment modalities have been tried/considered?

I completely agree.

Although it appeared it was very important to Cole for someone to "please" respond who had this type of surgery done. I did want Cole to learn that there is the possibility of continuing pain. With that in mind; at least had a response from someone who had been there; done that; but pain is still a possibility. Made sure to let Cole know the additional findings pretty much concluding with "in my case, etc.".
