Seek out another neurosurgeon. What part of the country do you live in?

I live in arizona. Yeah its funny cuz I have all the classic symtoms but he just shrugged me off and said that he doesn't want to turn me into a "surgery cripple" and that i would still have the same symtoms on top of haveing surgery symtoms. He was a total jerk, he's supposed to be world reknown for his work, but he doesn't have very good bedside manner!
