Well, unfortunately time is not on my side. Due to the nerve compression I need to act sooner than later to prevent long term nerve issues (at least regarding the herniated disc pressing on L5 and S1 nerve roots). I am leaning towards a second discectomy ASAP and then waiting out the DDD to see how things go. Perhaps I can prolong the need for ADR long enough for more advancements to come about.
Although, the idea of killing 2 birds with one stone now is more appealing in theory, I just don't have a lot of confidence in the Pro Disk in my spine for 50 years. Perhaps I am paranoid, but when you read about the advancements in the M6 design, the future looks bright. Living with DDD for a few more years won't be ideal, but I think I might be able to manage ok.
