Spine surgery Dallas

Depending upon who you ask you will get some positive reactions to having back surgery. On the other hand I have also heard the opposite, where as some people who have back surgery felt worse after the surgery. I guess it depends on the person and the circumstances they face. I know a person who was thinking about surgery as they have suffered for many years with pain in the back and spine, and they were wondering if this would help. This person was going to do some research on spine surgery in the Dallas area using Google, so I gave them the keywords Spine surgery Dallas to see what they come up with. I know a few people who has back surgery, but still had pain and the surgery did not stop the pain. I would personally get a few opinions from different doctors, before I committed to surgery. Have any of you had back surgery? What was your result? Do you regret it?
