One suggestion: treat this as two questions, not one. 1) Do you wish to try surgical options or are the non-surgical approaches you're trying still enough to buy you the life you want to live? (2) Is ADR the right surgical approach for you? By splitting the question like that you can step back from ADR's questions and complications and concentrate on how you feel about where you are today and how your life is trending. Are you truly holding steady or are you finding that things get to you more or trigger more pain or more frequent pain? Only you can answer the question but you need to decide if you want surgery, any surgery, then decide if ADR is right second.
