Your doctor recommends an additional surgery to relieve your back pain, but spinal fusion is a major procedure. You are wondering if the procedure will yield better results, or if you should wait before considering surgery again.
Uncertainty about a surgical procedure is a common reason people seek a second opinion. When you are faced with questions about your healthcare, consulting another medical expert can help you get answers. Whether a second opinion leads to a new diagnosis and treatment plan, or confirms your doctor’s recommendation, it provides information and insights you need to make decisions about your care.
