I need to do the surgery this Friday if I am ever going to be able to do it EVER, cause of money and time off of work. But if the pain is going to be worse than it is now I surely dont want to do it.

So far all I had 5 pain injections and none of them have worked. Epidurals and MBB & RFA.

Please vote for what I should do:

yes surgery?
no surgery?

Thank you.

Sweetie, only you can make that decision. Personally, I know I wouldn't want anyone making a decision as important as that for me BUT me.

Have you considered getting a third medical opinion - if possible?
