Cervical Surgery without other treatments
I have Congenital Cervical Stenosis. Now that i am getting older (45) I am having problems with headache, pain and numbness in my left arm and hand. When i went to see the Neurosurgeon, right away he wanted to do surgery. He said that the opening was normally the size of a penny and that mine was only 5 millimeters. I have a bulging disk that is causing the problem i think. Should i have the surgery without at least TRYING the other treatments?
