Had cervical spine laminectomy surgery 8 months ago and still dealing with neck and shoulder pain when turning my head. My post-surgery MRI report shows everything's fine but the discomfort won't go away. Could this be normal healing or something I should worry about?

View allApollo doctors neurosurgeon suggested surgery for my spine issue but I'm not sure if laser spine surgery is the right option for me what are the pros and cons compared to traditional surgery

Laser surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses a laser to precisely target and remove damaged tissue, while traditional surgery involves a larger incision and more extensive tissue manipulation. While laser surgery may offer faster recovery and less pain, traditional surgery may be more effective for complex cases

My mom is 60 and has a brain tumor (57mm) along with a gallbladder stone (12mm). The doctors are suggesting we prioritize the brain tumor surgery first and refusing to operate on the gallbladder due to risks. We're really confused shouldn't the gallbladder stone be taken care of first? What's the best course of action here?
Neurosurgeon opinion is advised for further treatment.

I took two X-rays a year apart and showed them to two different doctors. One said I have a bulging disc causing sciatic nerve pain and recommended surgery, but the other said everything looks normal. I'm confused could you help me understand what's going on and if surgery is really necessary?
