Are U asking if U: Can have such surgery having no neuro symptoms at all, or are u asking if u can have this surgery with no risks of getting any neuro problems from the surgery. Best person to provide you with these answers would be your surgeon, who has determined that you need surgery. Good luck.

No: Thr surgery is effective for arm or leg pain only if you have no pain or weakness you can only lose comfort with a back induction i'm puzzled why did you get a MRI for no symptoms if it's was for back pain then the MRI funding is spurious and should be considered not a symptom causer we should be getting studies without symptoms unless it is a screening test for early a symptomatic disease.
