The rush isn't to have surgery. The rush is to make sure you start the investigation and understand your options for surgery before pain and disability limit your ability to do the research. Surgery shouldn't happen until you have a fully thought out answer but you shouldn't delay the research until you're too disabled to hunt down the necessary information. If, for instance, your local doc says that the best neurologist for doing EMGs is a two hour drive and you've put off any decision making until you're unable to sit for more than 10 minutes at a time, you're going to be making your decision without the best information possible. Is it critical? Probably not, but little compromises will add up to lead to a poor decision. If nothing else, you need to be confident enough that you have time to walk back out of a surgeon's office, refusing to work with him/her, if you have a bad feeling. If you wait until you're desperate, you might accept a compromise that you'll regret later.

This is true for current ADR styles. The Charite has been in use for almost 30 years. That sample size and lifetime is a reasonable indication of the concept of an ADR. Beyond that, it's how much of the individual ADRs' marketing literature to believe.
