Mike, welcome.

This is a quick hit for me... I hope I don't miss anything. When I get back from my trip, I'll check again.

did the docs make an attempt to accurately ID the pain generator, or did they fuse the level that looked worse on MRI? (Is L4-5 looking perfect?)

T-spine and C-spine OK?

You are already looking into SI joint... ask about piriformis syndrome.

Sacral cysts? (I guess this question is, "did they image your sacrum", or were there cysts or other problems inside the spinal cord or nerve roots?)

Good luck!

Mark
