Should i have back surgery if i'm not always in pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: On symptoms and procedure proposed i would recommend back surgery for only severe pain or nerve dysfunction weakness numbness ect. Caused by a well defined irrefutable fixable pain generator be cautious in any other setting.
