How would you know if you’d need surgery?

What did you learn from your MRI? If you remember. Do you feel doctors try to avoid surgery as long as possible?

I still have mixed emotions about having one. I scheduled one for September so I have time to decide.

I’m learning that same lesson about having any pressure on my neck. My pillow works fine so I’ll stick with it.

One more thing. Someone said they had this surgery and they had a quick recovery and relief. I’m thinking if I get to the point where I need it this is what they would do??

I think it's pretty clear when surgery is necessary. It might not be as clear when surgery might help as an elective.
