Have you discussed fusion at L5-S1 and Pro-Disc on the higher level? The reason is that when I spoke to Dr. Regan, he didn't think that was such a bad idea.

Actually, yes. About 5 minutes ago, I just had that very conversation with Dr. Y about that.
I gave him and his surgical coordinator the go ahead to try and schedule me for Prodisc @L4-L5 and fusion @L5-S1.
In my opinion (
after years of medical school...NOT!), it remains to be seen if ADR will put 'extra' stress on a lower fusion level, but some studies have indicated that the loss in range of motion for fusion @L5-S1 isn't noticeable.
Therefore, it is definitely worth the shot.
