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.

Some time has now gone by and I am wondering if you had reached a decision regarding surgery - did you find out about artificial discs, or about any other things that have helped you. Did you find a way to manage the pain? I sure hope that you are in a better place now - I think that you got a lot of really good advice here, and hope that it all helped. Best, hasmag.
