Until then, try to relax. I can tell you from experience that fear intensifies pain to a remarkable degree. Patience, things will become clear.

Thanks for the advice.
That's actually why I didn't have the surgery in December as I was originally scheduled. I wanted to make a decision when I wasn't in pain. I told my doctor when I was diagnosed that before I make a decision we have to get my pain managed so that I'm not making a decision simply because I have pain. I have gone 2 months without much pain but my biggest concern is that if I wait longer my chances of nerve damage become greater. But then again there are risks involved with the surgery which only adds to my dilemma. Wait and risk permanent nerve damage or have the surgery and while low, risk nerve damage.
