Ive had 2 surgeries with great results. Mind over pain makes recovery easier. Stupborn attitude not to let pain win works well. Disc degenerate and arthritis is a problem so nerve root needles required from time to time. Staff are awesome tending to my wellbeing. Receptionist is overwhelmed at times but patience is a virtue. We all hurt but remembering that we are not alone and understanding that ask hospital or office for cancel list. Being persitant is not a bad thing. A+ for me
