I don't know, honestly, enough to say anything, except for what I saw my ex 
go thru. Toney had the surgery.  A year later he had the surgery again, 
because the first just didn't fix the problem or the pain.  It took him about 
8 months after the second one before he could climb or hike again.  He is now 
unlimited and can do all the things he did before.  And while backpacking is 
stressful, climbing is more so - and he does that with ease.  If the original 
surgery isn't working, and they recommend additional surgery - I'd say you 
should.  He didn't think he'd ever even walk again without pain - but now 
he's back to all the stuff he enjoys.
