Your doctor has advised rightly. Whenever there is compression it needs to be relieved. Feasibility of surgery and anesthesia and willingness of patient for surgery are key factors.
Next Steps
if you or patient is not willing for surgery, you will live with the problem. if the anesthestist or surgeon cannot proceed with some issues, then don't feel guilty, she may not have a choice. but if all goes well her quality of life will improve
Health Tips
a second opinion with a neurologist and surgeon will help you confirm it.
