peter, the 'should I have surgery?' question is very personal and can only be answered by you. However, that decision should only be made when you are certain that you have evaluated all your options and truly understand the implications.

It's easier to pull the trigger if you have a low risk, high success surgery. When facing a multi-level fusion, we are told to wait until we can't stand it anymore, because it is percieved to be a high risk, low success surgery.

All I can say is... "Do your homework... Make informed decisions!"

Good luck... let us know what you decide and how it goes.

all the best,

Mark
