A recent study showed that over the long term people who did not have surgery for chronic back pain did nearly as well as those who did although early pain relief was better with surgery. You have to decide on the basis of how much your symptoms restrict your day to day life while realizing that surgery may not always provide complete relief. |

See a third doctor for another opinion, perhaps? |

Most doctors are very cautious about back surgery as often people come out worse than they went in. Which doctor do you trust more? If neither get a third and if necessary fourth opinion. Don't rush into surgery if you are not sure. Good Luck |

depends on the specialty of the doctor telling you to get the surgery. Are both of these doctors practicing primary care or is one a specialist? Either way, I would recommend to visit someone who specializes in orthopedics and take his/her opinion. |

Depends on whether they are of the same specialty. It is unethical for one physician to over-ride another if that is not their area of expertise. If they are of the same then I would certainly get another opinion. |

Be careful,sometimes surgery can make it worse.Be very sure before you let someone operate on you.Research your condition and get as many opinions as it takes to help you make your decision. |

get a third opinion
go to a specialist (if you haven't already)
do some research of your own (webmd.com is good) |

See a chiropractor who uses an activator. It is a little like a plunger to describe the action, but has an end on it like the screw-in door stops.
It is hand held like an over grown syringe. They have it hit the muscle beside the bones to help the muscles release allowing things to go back to normal.

Unfortunately, get a 3rd opinion and weigh ALL the options to see what is best for you. |

You find a third, and more experienced doctor to brake the tie. Find out how many years of experience each one had, where did they do their residence, their studies, what hospitals have they worked. All this info is available in the net.
Good luck with your discs.

I think the person should go ahead w/ da surgery if they live through pain everyday or just to get it over with now before later.
But if your a strong person or you don't believe in stuff like that don't go threw it. I would go threw with it though becuz it should pay off real well when its done with. |

herninated disc is a very serious condition. Someday your toes just feels tingling, and you have trouble walking. What i found helpful was not sitting up straight for too long. Do what you think is right.
They might do some heat therapy or make a cut here and there, but nothing really fix anything. |

DO NOT GET SURGERY CAUSE, USUALLY A 1/3 WILL GET BETTER- A 1/3 WILL STAY THE SAME- A 1/3 WILL GET WORSE. THEY WILL GET BETTER ON THEIR OWN. |
