Some images
Big question is - when will 5-1 autofuse? Another one - why am I getting facet joint pain for the first time ever, and it is above the problem discs?

Because your movement is probably limited at the degenerated levels.
Kind of like having a fusion where adjacent level takes more of the load.. Wow, your L5-S1 is shot

Get this taken care of before other discs follow suit; domino effect.

MRI in 2012 showing L4/L5, L5/S1 herniations and L2/L3 bulge. L5/S1 taking on new shape, chronic sciatica, etc. DEXA bone scan performed 5/7/14 showing mild osteopenia. Surgery performed July 9th, 2014, Dr Clavel, hybrid three level lumbar.

That's not your vertebrae - bone appears usually grey on an MRI, white could be fat or similar materials, scar tissue, your spinal cord etc.
