Default I must be frustrating for you

how do you choose? I have always had success when I get a second opinion. after looking at your fims, a good surgeon should be able to tell you that, for example, that your surgery isn't brain surgery, or if there is anything they see in the films that might make it tricky. Another thing you might want to do is to ask the surgeon who he will be sending you to for pysical therapy. Sometims, you can get an appt before the surgery to learn some exercises to do before the surgery to strengthen the muscles tha will atrophy the most.
Good luck
