Just PLEASE get other opinion, will you? The flattening of the cord is what scares me, and i would NOT want to take just ONE doctors opinion on this. If he's just going to "pooh pooh" the pain element, what ELSE is he going to "pooh pooh?" Granted, usually pain is NOT eased after surgery but it IS an important factor that the surgeon MUST take seriously. He can't just ASSUME that the pain will just be diminished by the surgery. He'd better have a PLAN in effect for the pain!!! Grrr, this makes me mad!

These doctors can really make me want to go BACK to drinking sometimes and I've been sober almost 20 years! SHEEESH

Please get more opinions, okay? God bless!
