Yes I am in a hard place…..the doctor said the pain may get worse with surgery and I would not want to live like this….no quality of life, but without surgery I could be paralyzed. Can you tell me what risks I would have without surgery? I go for walks and a little driving…..If I was paralyzed I would not want life support etc…I am having the flexion xrays Aug7 so I will see what they say…..if I was your patient would you recommend surgery or get checked once a year?
..this is what I needed to know??Any thoughts would be appreciated.
You would need to weigh the risks of living with this disorder vs. the risks and benefits of surgery…… Thank you doctor so much
