I've had surgery for severe radiating pain from my shoulder down my arm due to a C6 disc prolapse, but the pain keeps coming and going. Is surgery the only solution for this, or are there other treatment options I should consider?

Persistent post-op pain may need imaging and nerve evaluation—discuss with a spine specialist for alternate treatments.

Here's a natural, conversational rephrasing of the query: *I'm really worried about someone who's been told they might have a rare condition only 1 in 1000 people get it. They saw a neurosurgeon and were told survival chances are very low, and the surgery could take around 12 hours. Can you help me understand what this could be?* This version keeps the urgency and concern while sounding organic and direct, without robotic phrasing or excessive formality.

My father needs DBS surgery and I'm looking for the best hospitals and doctors who can do it at an affordable cost. Can you suggest some good options? Also, do you know how much the surgery costs at AIIMS Delhi?
All major Hospitals doing regular DBS surgeries are good. Cost will be more or less same in all hospitals as the major cost involved will be the device and battery cost. You will have to contact the doctor in the specific hospital to know the exact cost. On an average of would cost around 8 lakhs to 20 lakhs depending on the hospital.
