Doctor's advice:

• Do not tolerate pain or wait until neurological symptoms become severe. Timely diagnosis can provide more options for choosing an appropriate treatment strategy. Pay attention to changes in your health and seek medical care when needed. And remember: a consultation with a neurosurgeon does not always mean that surgery is necessary.
