Ask yourself a question. Is there anything I would rather do with $X than get out of this pain I am in? For me the number was $42,000 to put out up front (I did get reimbursed). Like you, I am not wealthy, but there was nothing I could have done with that money, nothing, that would have made my family and I happier than fix my back. Not a car, house, retirement fund, college fund, nothing. All that stuff can get taken care of once you have your health. Your health is priceless!

I've decided that this is too big a risk for my family's financial future. If something goes wrong, we could lose everything we've worked for over the years.
