Default Hi everybody

Hi just wanted to post my experience after 6 months of evolution.

Back pain for some time already (years) after pandemic gained weight quitted gym and had a couple of injuries carrying weight around. Things worsened every month so after some physical therapy got and MRI and diagnosis big central herniated disc l5-s1 With left leg sciatica
Maybe I can get some insights from you guys

After viewing nearly all posts in this site I decided for total disc replacement in a Hospital close by.I looked into different neurosurgeons in Madrid which recommended each a different thing. New Interspinous fixation, MIS TLIF, ADR. read about systematic reviews on different ADR prosthesis, retrievability, resurgery , then chose this doctor after calling the rep of the company Of the prosthesis I wanted to have (m6) asking for the one that did more surgeries in my city Madrid. His name is Luis Ignacio Alvarez de Quesada. Had a consultation today with him. This doctor is really transparent. No big spinal center treatment private environment, but one of the best private hospitals in Madrid. On the consultation he did not mention ADR from the beginning so I suggested it to him and he agreed ,if there was no facet destruction on new MRI, he would plan for ADR. Not with m6 but with Zimmer Mobidisc L.

Curious to hear any feed back regarding prosthesis type or surgery expectations. Right now I have trouble sleeping, sitting standing for over 10 min and barely can place socks, coughing or even laughing. Chiropractor relieves pain every Two weeks otherwise medication helps me get around days.
I used to go skiing every winter, weight lifting, gym, bicycle. Can’t do any exercise except for elliptical run. Thanks for your recommendations
