Default newbie need help l5 s1 fusion or ADR

Hello im 37 and work as an operator in a plant. Job requires me to lift atleast 50 lbs. with that said ive been out of work for six months. I did all the things like pt, injections so forth and then came down to a microdiscectomy in jan this year. things was going great then it blew out again in feb.I saw the dr he wants to do another one but im thinking about a fusion or adr. ive been doing some research online and it appears alot of people wait as long as they can to do surgery but i cant. DDD runs im my family so to do another discectomy seems useless. it looks like it would be great to go to germany and get something like the m6 but i dont have the funds. I have aetna but i believe it only covers in US. what other ADR options are there in the US. Or should I just get a fusion. thanks
