Let me catch you up to speed real quick. My Junior year of high school I got injured in an football game. I ended up with 3 broke vertebrae(which never grew back), 2 bulging disc, 2 swollen facet joints, sciatica, pinched nerves, and arthritis. 3 years later my back still kills me, and I went to the doctor the other day. I have an MRI Monday and I possibly will be seeing a surgeon in Lexington soon. Now my question is what should I do here? Should I have the surgery if possible or try to live the rest of my life in miserable back pain?
