After you speak with Dr. Desai, your mind will be very much at ease as far as making a decision.
I'm only struggling as I'm not in pain 24/7. Just discomfort at times - and some QOL limitations... (Avoid bending, go out less, can only do certain exercises, etc...)
If I was in any amount of real or constant pain / discomfort... My decision would have already been made.
