Would a specialist you've seen be doing the procedure or a PM (Pain Management) doc?

I'd go over the options (all that were offered to you) with a doc and ask about the pros of each procedure and what makes it a plus (with your spinal condition) over the others.

I'll give it more thought. I'm sure there are others here who will offer far better insights than I have at this wee hour .

Thanks for that answer, I took some Predisone last night and the pain has reduced today, but your right ,I am not rushing on this decision, as long as I feel some improvement over time, I think i will give mother nature a chance-
one Dr told me that 80% of this cases are gone in 90 days---my response to him was, there is no time limit -some people 6 weeks some 12 weeks some six to 12 months---- everyone heals differenty-but I would have to say the first 10 weeks my pain was 8 out of 10---but know it about a three, with mild nerve poping in my feet--thanks again
