Uncertain: I am not sure how valuable input on your individual case would be regarding whether you should have the proposed treatment or not. We haven't examined you, seen X ray, MRI's, gotten a full history, etc. If you desire outside input, it would be more much beneficial to obtain a second opinion evaluation from a provider who can look at your total picture. Hope you do well in the future.
