Procedures and Treatment
You should become as well informed about your problem as you can.
You will find many differing opinions on the multiple sites on the internet so if you are getting what seems like conflicting advice please say so and ask questions so you can be involved and share responsibility in the management of your condition.
I encourage you to look on the Internet and have attached some links, which may be useful.
Many musculo-skeletal conditions cannot be addressed by surgery and these websites also cover many of the conditions where surgery is generally not appropriate or is a last resort.
