Well after my latest discogram, my doctor told me that I did not have to have a fusion, and that I could get my l5 disc replaced. Now they are saying that my l4 is very bad and needs to be replaced. You can only have 1 replaced disk, so this means that my l5 has to be fused with metal and screws, and the disc above that, l4, has to be replaced.

Fusion sucks. You have to be worked on from the front and back...

I'm so stressed out right now. A fusion and disc replacement and i'm 28 with a newborn. :?
