When there is already a threat of medicine addiction because higher dosages don't work anymore, the doctor will broach this idea. The surgery can have its risks but it eases the excruciating back pain, which is what the patient wants.First, if he hasn't already done so, the doctor will put you through a battery of tests to pin point the exact location of the area affected and the specific vertebrae that are damaged. The damage can actually spread over several areas.
