Mark,
Can I ask what your symptoms in your legs feel like? I am still on the fence- and as this injury goes- I ebb and flow with pain/numbness and feeling pretty ok. My legs get pains like I've worked out very hard when I haven't, and then numbness as well, randomly and intermittently.
Congrats on making your decision. That alone is a huge milestone that I have not yet conquered. I am 30, an RN and just terrified of being worse off after surgery. I have yet to find the perfect doctor yet.....which also could be contributing to my lack of decision.
