Default more surgery

Justin,
Putting myself in your shoes at your age doing what you're doing I honestly think I'd be off to surgery as soon as I could feasibly arrange it even if that was sometime within the following year.

There are times I'm very sorry I've put off surgery so long that I have habituated to the pain meds well enough for pain relief but so much so that I have allowed my body to worsen in terms of spinal condition (mostly speaking about osteoporosis here tho I'm sure there's more degeneration going on) and probably blown my chances for surgery at this date in this country.

Ahhh.. hindsight. Whatta thing.

Anyway, re your case I can understand the feelings of not wanting more surgery tho also realizing the impact the pain/condition has on your life now in all realms of being.

Wishing you the best and knowing you'll make the right choice for you~ Maria
