Laminectomy-yes or no?
I have had compressed disks for numerous years and the pain has recently had gotten worse. However, I can still golf twice a week although uncomfortable and sometimes sharp pain. Painkillers and several epidurals have not helped. A neurosurgeon has suggested getting a laminectomy which I am considering but am concerned that I could be worse off after surgery and perhaps should just be happy to be able to golf even with some pain. I am in relatively good health for my age (late 70's).
If you have had this surgery, I would appreciate any comments and/or suggestions.
Thanks
