Thank you!
Future Robot,
Thank you so much for responding to my post! I really, really appreciate it! It's great to hear your input with regard to this issue. I do have mild to moderate facet arthrosis in my lower back. Is it the general consensus that ADR is harder on the facets then fusion is? If that is the case, maybe fusion is a safer bet for that level.
Thanks again!
Juliette

Surgeries didn't help
Recent years- stem cell & PRP injections- helped a little.
Recent MRI & x-rays show DDD & facet arthrosis in lower back & DDD & bone spurs in cervical spine.
