Hi, as you can see I had ADR on L5S1 6 months ago. I'm off pain meds, but still not back to work. I still feel the same pain as before and nobody has a clue why. It could be memory pain, but I hardly believe in it. I had pain stting/standing/lying/walking. But, I never had regrets about the ADR. A black disc won't heal. When you're older (they told me above 60 years) hardly anybody has working discs and they naturally fuse with time. But when you're in pain and you qualify as an ADR patient, I'd go for it as long as you have tried all conservative methods. You wait too long and your facet joints will start to get damaged and then you won't get ADR anymore. At least not from a good surgeon as they know this disqualifies you.
