Hi @Stan2016 welcome to the forum.
The only person to decide on this op is you and your consultants.  Might be worth talking to them how you feel and getting their advice. Good luck in which decision you make.

Unfortunately, we are not medical professionals, so can't give you any medical advice. You will need to speak to your GP or consultant.

You were given a lot of advice on your other thread here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/105227/hi-my-name-is-mani-can-i-get-scholarships-on-disability-base#latest

Hello @Stan2016

Welcome to the community I hope you are well?

As others have said, we don't give out medical advice so I would suggest trying to get an appointment with your surgeon or specialist to discuss everything through again. It sounds like you have some doubts now your symptoms have gone. I would suggest writing everything down, including how your symptoms where before in 2022 and now so you don't miss anything when discussing with your surgeon / specialist

How are you feeling about it going the same way @tony70? It sounds really difficult to deal with. However, I am also hearing you recognise the wider benefits of the ops - despite the limitations - in stopping you from getting paralysed. Does anything usually help on a daily basis?
