Thanks Fuzzy,

My doctor says that restoring disk height does increase lordosis, but what I want to know is does doing that actually help or hinder things as, you no longer use that joint space anymore with a fusion. Does it just put more stress on L4/L5 because it is increasing the lumbar angle?
He can only give an educated opinion not one based on experience which is what im after. I realise everyone is different though.

Do you all feel better once disk height at L5/S1 is restored and lumbar curve is restored?
