More successful than back surgery.. back surgery seems to be about 50-50 on giving pain relief, sometimes making things worse.. neck surgery is typically more successful and I've never heard of anyone who was worse off after neck surgery..
..well, as long as your surgeon wasn't nicknamed Dr Death.. dude in Dallas who messed up most of his patients and had other surgeons stand between him and the patient so he could no longer touch them.. look it up.. forget his name.. something like Dr. Duntsch or something like that.. scary as hell..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
