Answer:
Hi,
I'm sure there are surgical options....but the hoops you'd have to go through might be more of a mental and emotional nightmare.
Since you're having problems with your coordination, you might want to consider "therapy" of the kinetic kind. Meaning, learn how to get your body reflexes to work right for you.
If you focus on the things you can't to....you will definitely set yourself up for a lifetime of disappointments. But, there would be programs available where your coordination, core strength, muscle "twitches", etc can be kind of reprogrammed and your brain/body connection become more as one.
Pilates, Tai Chi, the Alexander Technique, Karate, Kung Fu, strength training, walk-running, dancing, etc....
Just a few suggestions.
How old are you and what exactly are the coordination problems that you're having? How tall are you? ARe you overweight? underweight? What is your body type...ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph?
You do have some choices, but nothing would be really easy....but much easier than surgery since after surgery you'd still have to do retraining of your muscles through therapy anyway.
Best to you,
