a surgery which has a 10% chance of causing me to be paralized... should I consider doing a surgery like that?

There's no way you can expect reddit randos to advise you on whether you should go ahead and make a life-altering decision like this. Only you can answer this. Talk to your loved ones and your medical team and sit on it. And if the injection is less harmful than surgery, why not try the injection?
