My mom let some surgeon fuse part of her spine when all she needed was posture work and lots of PT. Would have saved her years of pain and a far lower quality of life.
I feel her pain. Had lots and lots of hip pain, thinking I would need hip replacements and back pain
with the same thought of needing back surgery.
Turns out my problem are my femur bones and back pain due to arthritis. Had lots of x-rays and etc, and the easiest solution are cortisone shots about every five or six months and PT. I have my own workout machines...treadmill, weight resistance machine and more. I get up at 5am to do my excises
and have my morning coffee before starting my day looking after my Dear Husband.
Lucky for me I have excellent doctors who were not in a rush to do surgery and more.
Exercise and especially PT more often are the best medicine.
