My opinion, if you are feeling quite well and mostly normal use and activities, I would wait- when and if pain or symptoms show up, then look more into surgery.

Imaging & surgical techniques usually improve, so later on better imaging /testing might clearly show exactly what is compressing things, if recent MRI /testing doesn't show clearly..
Thank you so much for the reply. Do you mind sharing the study so I can have a look?

I am going to see the second surgeon in 2 weeks and see if he changed his view. It was a year ago when I saw him the last time.
