My view separates life and death surgery from other surgery. Other surgery would include, but not necessarily limited to, back, cervical, orthopedic, and neurological (other than brain) surgery in general. Let your body be your guide. If the pain is such it interferes with your daily life and it has been recommended surgery would improve the quality (all other measures from diet, PT, and exercise have been exhausted) of life, then surgery is the final step to getting the quality of life we all want to achieve.
