Your doctor told you that your white blood cells are high and that if they don't go down I won't be able to have back surgery so what does the high white blood count have to do with you having surgery?
Surgery will only be a more invasive attack on the white blood cell count as it will require more to handle the "attack" of the surgery. If your body has an insufficient amount of white blood cells to combat the possible bacterial count introduced by surgery, you can incur healing problems and health problems because of the procedure. It is safer to wait until the WBC count gets lower for a safer surgical result. It would be equivalent of a football game of where you had only 11 players and the other team had hundreds of players, meaning you would probably lose that battle.
