This is an old thread, but I hope you get this message. I only have leg pain and I don't know if I have instability based on what that means. Also, how would I know where to go in Europe to get surgery if all the surgeons here will do fusion even if I don't really need it ?

@annie1 If you are comfortable using AI you can get a lot of information about international surgery. Surgeon's here are more comfortable with fusion and probably do too many. because of familiarity and reimbursement. If you live near a major teaching hospital you can probably find docs who make more individualized surgical plans.
