What Are The Pros And Cons Of Decompression Surgery(removing A Spinal Disc)?
My Mum has just been given the news that she needs spinal decompression surgery – removing one of her discs and she wants to know as much about the operation as possible. The main things are the pros and cons, and any first hand accounts of people who have had it.
Thank you in advance.

My buddy had it and there were some pros and cons.
The pros is that he had nasty, and I mean nasty pains that kept him up all nights but after the surgery they were completely gone. He can finally lift things again compared to the inability to lift a pencil prior to his surgery.
The cons was the surgeon; during the operation he slightly damaged nearby nerves and now my buddy gets funny feelings in his sciatic nerve, walks a bit funny and can’t hold his stool in (has to run to the bathroom as soon as he feels it coming).
It really depends on the surgeon you get I think, if he is a pro then everything will be a-ok.
