 I do know someone who has had this problem.  This surgery helped, but she needed additional care after.  You might need additional care.  Or maybe not.  There are no guarantees in life, but if your surgeons are confident that this will help, I'd trust them.  They know the problem.  They know the source of the problem.  It's likely you will get some relief.  

If not, there will be something else to try, but you won't be able to get the next thing that will help you until you are done with this one.

My surgeon required me to stay in a hotel for five days post-op so I would be within a few minutes of his office and the hospital.  It's a good idea if you think about it.

You will do well, IF you have a positive outlook.  You must remain positive. 

Best!!!
