Agree with you there, Jay. Just seems like surgery has to be a last resort, I also can't think of too many people I know where back surgery was totally successful, and it sometimes even makes things worse.

I am seeing an ortho, but I am NOT considering back surgery. Fortunately the ortho hasn't mentioned surgery, but I've got several friends, family and former co-workers who've had back surgery, and none has really had good enough results to make me want to consider going that route.
