Hi Dr. Corenman,
Thank you very very much, the information you provided gives me appropriate context on the decision I need to make. At this point I have the surgery scheduled for Nov. but I’m going to continue work on PT exercises and with the goal of improving my condition. I will reassess in the next two month wether or not to proceed with the surgery. I truly feel surgery should be the choice if the symptoms merit it. I feel that my symptoms are not at that stage yet. When ache levels increase I just take aleve and that seems to help. Again I am very grateful that you take the time and offer such good unbaised information.
Best Regards!
