You are young and many orthopedic spine surgeons do procedures on people into their 70s and 80s so whoever is telling you that you are too old are not good doctors/surgeons. You do need to find other surgeons for 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinions.

What type of health insurance coverage do you have? Did you call your insurance company for referrals to surgeons who are highly rated and accept your coverage? What part of WV are you in?

It would be good to take a family member or friend with you to help you advocate for your health and ask questions/get answers.

Have you read your lumbar MRI report in detail? What does the radiologist call out as impressions?
