Default Getting ready for surgery
Hi guys, long time to see

So it's been 9 months since the onset and about 6 months of PT, chiro and lots of meds. I've been back at work since Feb, still in pain of course.

After exhausting pretty much everything, my surgeon feels it's time for surgery. Going for a second opinion this month and after that getting ready for the plunge. I know many people have had a bad outcome but my current situation is not that great anyways and I feel like I should at least give myself a chance to get better.

Hope everyone is doing well, cheers!

I'm one of those that had a not-so-great outcome. Just wanted to tell you that I'm still so glad I had the surgery. Good luck to you, and keep us posted!
