Problem is surgery isn’t guaranteed and my bone man said Don’t let anyone here touch you. Others have refused to operate. A doctor in San Francisco wants to operate but said my Range of Motion will be limited, more so than it already is. Another said he wasn’t sure if my pain would be much better. I don’t think it’s worth taking a chance. As long as I can deal with it that’s fine. I can function enough to get by.

@jakedduck1 You know best, along with the advice from your doctor, what you should do. We just hate to see you suffering if there is a remedy.

Morning Jake- Have you tried spinal cord stimulation, or any nerve interference for pain control?

Morning,
I’m with you Jake. I wouldn’t want to take the chance that I would be worse but I would probably take the pain meds more...day by day decision. Age is a deciding factor also. Options other than surgery?

Regards from FL Mary
