@lioness i don’t blame you for not wanting to take a chance with the dangers of the virus. Sounds like positioning your body helps. I would research the risk for neuropathy with the surgery. For me, I always try to exhaust other avenues before surgery. Surgery should be my last option. I have known people left to deal with neuropathy as a result of hip replacements, knee replacements, and back surgeries. My neurosurgeon was the cause of my neuropathy after the 3rd and last surgical repair of my ruptured AVM. I never experienced neuropathy pain until that last surgery. Don’t get me wrong. I am grateful for all his efforts but I am the one still struggling with the pain. So be careful and research before making your decision.
