I was not a candidte for fusion because it would to much pressure on my other disc. I also had bulging and degenerated l4/5...and no disc left at l5/s1. Same as you, i assume it is the same reason why fusion is not an option. I had my l5/s1 replaced and l4/5 fixed during surgery and i will now get about 5-10 years from my l4/5 i am told.
Classic Zippo...message me, because i had my surgery done by Dr. Gurr in London ON. He has been doping it for more than 10 years there. It is approved and not experimental with him. I'd love to hear your experience and help any way i can to help you get this done.
Have a great day everyone.
