Specializes in Family Medicine

Depends: Depends on what catching issue you have Does it cause pain, is it expected to get worse.Do you have osteoporosis? See another surgeon for their opinion. Get your family around, check your insurance and make a final decision based on everyone's input that what decision you make is in the best interest of your health. I am sure you will find the best route for you.
