Thats what I'm thinking Supercrutch :)

I thought if I could get about a 30% chance of success I'd go with it-It'll do a DIY eventually anyway.Heck of a decision though.

It's an awful choice isn't it? Me.....I am older so I'd go for it even though the prospect of disaster would give me nightmares.

But.......if it's successful and there would be no need to order wheelchair catalogues then on balance I would opt in.

still scary-may cause a titanium shortage.

its a real "if you didnt laugh,you'd lose it"..someone had a thread a while ago re:waiting times for appointments & this has been ridiculous,the MRI result was described as a "catastrophe" ,needless to say the finger nails are taking some hammer :(

As long as the benefits outweigh the risks and the op is essential to improve the quality of my life then I would go for it.

Very essential but not life & death (except I spose for the usual risk from the anaesthetic etc).
Option-if op "do"able,no wheelchair. Age, too young for wheels :(

& maybe,just maybe less pain

Depends. If 'life changing' meant essential for any real quality of life, and on age, and the specific circumstances of ones life ( children to leave ).

Just to get an idea of what people would risk.

If you had the chance of Surgery (Life changing but high risk) what are the lowest "odds" of it being a success would you take that risk?

50-50 or less?
