Back surgery

I had a micro disc repair in 2015 for a bulging disc with arthritis as an added bonus. I would do it again if I had to. My major suggestion is to find a neurosurgeon to do the procedure. I can't help with referral as I had mine done at Swedish hospital in Seattle. I can only say that this surgery is one of the hardest for an ortho doc and nothing compared to brain surgery for a neuro doc.
