I know others do this surgery because my foot and ankle doc does it in MI but felt it was not for me and would rather me have a scs. That this surgery is not something to jump into. I am not saying for you though because I chose not to do either right now. What I will say and not just for dellon but others like a doc I saw who sells products that I feel almost like they are sale people rather then doctors. I don't like it. I feel many prey on people who suffer and are looking for any hope and relief. Not right at all. Sue yur sweet and I know that everyone here means the best from their heart. We all have different personalities. I am the first to say I am clueless though I do now the mental and physical aspects of pain. I am sorry if you mentioned or everyone here knows but what other treatments have you tried?
