My neighbor had back surgery a little over a year ago and went tobogganing this past winter and he is over 40 years old!! I hope that makes you feel better, every individual is different but in this day and age, medicine can work wonders!! Follow the doctor's orders!!
Good luck!! : )

At this point all you can do is trust your Doctor and Parents to help you make a good decision on this. It sounds like you tried other treatments that didn't fix the problem. Look on line and see the link below.

the success of spinal surgeries varies greatly, you need to be asking your doctor these questiions. He knows your history and potential outcomes better than anyone else could.
