Ian,
Nice to see you got some questions answered. He didn't have any other surgical opinions he could give you that did not pertain to artificial disc?

As far as surgical options we didn't discuss anything other than ADR. The disc at L4/L5 is pretty much toast. Disc height is actually pretty good, but it's dried out and only gonna get worse. But he did suggest the injections and RFA before surgery.
