[QUOTE="88UPS1969, post: 2642805, member: 60297"] I would use the surgery as a last resort. They are always making advancements in medicine and could possibly have better options when and if you actually had to have surgery. I have been with UPS for 28 years, will be 29 in August. Eleven years p/t and 17 as a driver. I had a serious back surgery in 2002. They fused the L-4 and L-5 vertebrate. I was attacked by 2 dogs and knocked down flight of about 5 steps with the dog on top of me, that's how my injury occurred. The Doctor said that the nerve was completely shut off from blood flow and if I didn't have the surgery I would be facing possible paralysis in the leg, so I really had no choice in my view! Anyway I have trouble still to this day but I am grateful that I am still able to perform my job, there is nothing as valuable as your job, besides your health. God has blessed me over the years and I pray that he will you also!! My prayers are with you and best of wishes to you and your decision!! I hope this is of some use to you!! [/QUOTE]
