The more I pushed, the more they pushed back and in the end everybody got ****** off. I found another Dr.
Try to take another approach, look at treating your symptoms. Exhaust all other avenues, if you can show that none of them have benefited in treating your symptoms, then the surgeon may look more favourably at relieving your symptoms surgically (if they can), but there maybe more risks from surgery than benefits. Each time they have operated on me, which is 5 times now, I've had an explosion of other symptoms/sensations/oddities that they call "recovery symptoms", but have lasted long after any recovery time. So surgery may not be the magic pill you expect, believe me.
I'd be trying to get an independent opinion. Show them the pictures, tell them the symptoms but 'try' to keep emotions from the conversation. I say 'try' as I know this is not easy at all, but some dr's do not handle emotions very well and will 'fob you off' as just being emotional.

Good luck
