Ah, the surgical decision....
If your symptoms are bad or you risk permanent nerve damage, AND you have a smoking gun diagnosis, AND you have access to a very low risk, high success rate surgery... then your decision is easy.
If your symptoms are not bad, OR you don't have a smoking gun diagnosis, OR the surgery you might get is high risk, low success.... then your decision NOT to do surgery is easy.
Unfortunately, we all fall somewhere in the middle of all this and have to make the very personal decision about what to do... There is no 'one size fits all' here. Only tough choices. (Like I'm articulating something you don't already know... )
