When I had my first surgery, 3 level, I was at 4 mm NS said surgery was a necessity, I had no choice because I risked paralysis. As it is, I have permanent damage to my spinal cord and thats because I waited so long to take care of the problem because I was too scared. Surgery made a big difference, but I'm not completely pain free & thats my own fault. I know you' re scared, but if you need surgery, please don't do what I did. After my first surgery, I wish I would have done it sooner.
