His hesitation is the pain of 2 cuts. I asked. He is a neurosurgeon who did my laminectomy in 2020 (C2 &T1). Surgery scheduling is in the works. Insurance and 2 surgeons schedules. Every day I chicken out-until I try to walk. I've had p/t (Nov/Dec) and it stirred more pain

@4petesake - sounds like you're going down the pathway toward surgery. I completely get your statement about chickening out until you discover how painful walking is.

Might be your personal risk management scale has tipped to the side of "surgery is the best option"?

Let us know when/if you schedule the surgery!
