thanks so much for the great advise, i saw the neurosurgen and he said i should wait 3 months to see if i see any improvement before going ahead with the surgery as if i have it i will have to stay in bed for 3 months for recovery which is going to b impossible if i have a 6-7 or so month older at that time. finding it all abit difficult atm just wish it would just go away n let me get on with my life...
