Harrison,

Not sure I can answer that. It has been the pattern that when we fix something, something else breaks. I suppose it's adjacent disk degeneration.

The Radiologist report from the most recent MRI indicates

"At L1/L2" disk bulge and facet arthrosis contribute to central canal bilateral lateral recess and biforaminal stenosis left greater than right with contact of descending nerve roots bilaterally." ,

"At L2/L3 level......pseudobulge from the retrolisthesis and facet arthropathy contribute to central canal, bilateral recess and biforaminal stenosis with contact of the descending and exiting nerve roots bilaterally."

Also, at L5/S1, "pseudobulge from the listhesis and facet arthropathy contribute to the central canal, bilateral lateral recess and biforaminal stenosis with contact of the descending and exiting nerve roots bilaterally."

I assume if nerves are being contacted, each or all could be a source of the pain.

Not sure if that helps.

Thanks for reaching out
