Is there anybody out there that would think I am absolutely crazy if I opt for the MVD…I would like to know opinions from people on this surgery…I am expecting a call from Vanderbilt today with my MRI results and was wondering if I should just go ahead and get the surgery…what are the chances you could die on the table. I am 61 and in pretty good health. Sorry if I sound dramatic, but I feel pretty dramatic right now…thanks.
Mary,
That is a difficult choice for all of us. Your surgeon can best answer the questions on the risks. Personally, if my MRI showed a compression, I would have the surgery.It is very normal to have all types of feelings including being scared and deciding that you will have the surgery and then second guessing yourself. I wouldn’t call it dramatic.
Please let us know your MRI results.
What other choices did your surgeon offer?
