Sounds like one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't scenarios. Any surgery comes with risks. At the same time, infection can worsen your PD symptoms, too, in some cases, permanantly. I have no advice for this as either route comes with its pros and cons. I wish it was as easy as, "yes, have the surgery" or "no, don't have it." Here's hoping that you make the right choice for you. Follow your heart sounds corny, but that's all we have left to follow. Our brains just aren't up to the task anymore.
