Gman,
Thanks for the advice. I'm following your progress since I'll probably need a M6 at L4-5. SI Joints are not the culprit. Still have to get a facet block at L4-5 to determine how much pain they are generating. Every doc I've consulted thinks it's the disc, though (and I've consulted many). Clavel said 80% - 90% sure. Bierstedt said > 90%. Saw that video of you walking which was impressive after only a few days post-op. Continued success with your progress.
