Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Did you write this while having high!!
All spinal surgeries do not have equally beneficial outcomes. It depends on a lot of parameters.
As for conservative therapy, physio plus baclofen and some neuroprotective agents might help,
There is also option of steroid injection.
