My mother had surgery to remove an arthritic spur growth from her spine which was giving her tremendous nerve pain and leaving her practically immobile. She had 100% recovery. The pain is gone.

Back surgery is always the last option, but in her case, it worked well. It was practically an out-patient procedure with only a two-inches-long incision. I think she spent one night in the hospital.

As with all surgery, it's the skill of the doctor that counts. If you go that route, ask around and find the very best one out there.
