Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns and nucleoplasty can be an expensive procedure. However, regarding your chances that you can recover to the point where you are pain free or have the satisfactory outcome from the procedure I would like for you to take the necessary precautions and have get the information from the doctor that suggested the procedure. I would like to let you know that you should also explore other options in terms of medications for muscle relaxation and anxiety relief, and a psychiatrist would be a good place to start. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
