DDD L-3 down thru S1, I have very little if any disk space on all levels. 2/2011: Discography was positive, mri and ct scan show tearing and leaking in the disk that is there and nerves are inflamed. Im taking Avinza daily and percocet as needed. I stay comfortable but have alot of left hip pain .
Docs say multiple level ADR and 1 level fusion is needed.

I'm also insured by UHC and am disappointed by their published position. The last I heard, they published their official policy (2010T04371) on August 31, 2010 stating that "Artificial total disc replacement is unproven for the treatment of single or multiple level degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine in skeletally mature patients". They have an identical statement for Lumbar spine as well.
