For the record if anybody keeps one: My problem was already in the spinal
cord, not something impinging on it. I would have been leery of surgery
for the latter. But the right leg had already come to a halt, and so had
some underneath functions, which is what propmpted surgeon to use the
same risk with as without surgery. Bottom line is: Nothing works down
below after surgery. Nothing would have worked down below without
surgery. But at least they were able to rule out tumor, a risk nobody
wanted to take. Thanks.
