Did you not think to get it looked at sooner?
I had multiple doctors check up on it, each one said something different (they're actually listed in the comic in order) but the most recent doctor was the one I did the most extensive testing with (CAT scans and such) and also the symptoms he described are the closest to what I'm experiencing so I think he's the most likely to be right
of course there's the chance that he's wrong and the surgery won't help much, but in that case I'll just keep searching
