Thank you all very much. My surgeon is highly reputable and has preformed orthopedic surgeries for 40 years. His credentials are outstanding. I was told by the Laser Institute that they could help me but they can't straighten my spine with a laser. The closest place they could do laser surgery is in Pennsylvania, too far from home. My insurance won't cover laser surgery either calling it out-of-area and experimental. I'm 63 and don't know how long I can wait if I decide to do it but I won't be rushed either. I have multiple issues with my discs as I have degenerative discs, arthritis,etc, etc. This won't fix everything. I may need more surgeries down the road as my discs change positions Just wish I knew if it would be worth it or if I would be exchanging one pain for another. If I had my leg strength back after a few months it may be worth it.
