Thanks for all the advice! I appreciate everyone who took time to reply

to my questions. You all gave very good advice and I will heed it. I

plan to explore every option before submitting to surgery, including

getting a private exercise coach and seeing a neurologist. I have many

concerns about the surgery and the success of it is just one of them. So

many people, I know, that have had the surgery, tell me they wish they'd

never had it at all because it didn't lessen their pain. Also, I have no

one to help me during recovery. I am 71 years old and I don't know how I

would take care of myself especially since I have stairs. My kitchen and

my bathroom are on different levels. On the other hand, I don't think I

can take this pain much longer. It is a dilemma that has plagued me for

a long time.

I have heard that the laser procedure is less invasive and the recovery

time is only one week. That sounded good to me but insurance doesn't

cover it and it is very expensive. Also, my Dr. told me it wouldn't be

good for me because my spine is already unstable and the laser procedure

would make it even more unstable. I was hoping someone could give me

more information on that.

Thanks again. I will continue to read the posts to see if I can pick up

more advice.
