High percentage of failures in back operations.

[Cal Sibley]

I had a Spinal Stenosis operation two years ago, and it didn't help a darn bit. The surgeon said it would relieve about 75-80% of the pain, but it didn't relieve any of it. I met a guy last week at the range who also had one, same story. He claims he recently read a book that stated almost all back operations are dismal failures. Anyone here can lend credence to this? I was somewhat disappointed. Best wishes.
