Back Pain - Spoyndylolisthesis

Back Pain - Spoyndylolisthesis

I have a Spondy grade 2.  Chiropractic helps with pain, but as soon as I do anything slightly vigorous or strenuous, I'm back in pain.  Lower back pain and radiating numbness and pain down my left leg to my toes.

I have been to 3 different surgeons, they all recommend spinal fusion surgery.  The issue I have is that no matter where I look for additional information, some people say surgery is a great thing and others say it is the worst thing.  How am I supposed to know if surgery is right for me?  And how do I know if fusion is the right surgery procudure; are there other options?

At this point, I am physicall in a middle ground.  I am not healthy and I am not totally disabled.  Living in the middle ground is really painful and frustrating.
