No i looked into it last year when I first got diagnosed and my dr. told me I would need surgery if I wanted to go back into my regular line of work. Seeing the surgeons actually turned me off from it, but I only have neurogenic issues. I have been doing PT and injections and feel much better, but am still not able to do my regular work. It changes all the time, so I am not ruling it out in the future if it becomes necessary.
