Andy,

I would be a fine example of an M6-L not working out.
There is no "golden" disc.
We don't know why some work on some people and not other's.
I do know that the lumbar is harder to predict than the cervical's.
Every doctor has told me that the lumbar area is harder to do and the
success rate isn't as good as the cervical's are.

One thing I would point out....
I was told that my revision is a bit easier to do being at the L5-S1.
If it were the L4-L5, I was told that would be a whole different ball game.

The forum is helpful and has many great tips but in the end, a DOCTOR
is the one who has the experience and education.
You have to find one you trust as to why he's using the disc he's picking, or procedure
he's doing. Make them explain why so there is no question unanswered.
That's all you can do. The outcome is unpredictable and there are no guarantee's.

There is a trend that everyone think's their doctor and their disc is the best and wants to defend their belief but you have to live with your decision.

I pray for you to have a great outcome with whatever YOU decide on.
