  1. Well, I suppose if it hurts your back, you could say that.

  2. My mom had this done.

    She had to prove that it was hurting her back (chronic pain) to the extent that it was affecting her ability to hold down a job.

    She had to get (I think) statements from 2 doctors saying that if she had a reduction then it would solve her back pain problem.

    It never hurts to document, document, document! The more evidence you have that it is causing you a "disability" which could be fixed with reduction surgery- the more likely you are to get insurance to cover costs.
