The decision to have surgery or not is yours alone.  The Board will not order you to have surgery.  If you do not have the surgery and you are otherwise at maximum medical improvement it is likely that a permanency evaluation will me made which will either result in a schedule loss of use or a finding of A Permanent Partial Disability. You should review the options with your attorney.
