Got another MRI yesterday and went to see another surgeon for a recommendation. It's the first MRI since I had the Fibrin injections at 3 levels. Still waiting on the report but the L5/S1 appears to be worst and is now pressing on the nerve.
His recommendation is a TLIF at L5/S1 and leave L4/5 alone. He doesn't do ADR.
So still waiting for an updated Dr's opinion from the new MRI but his initial recommendation was L5/S1 Stalif and L4/5 Prodisc based upon MRI from 2009 and 2010 Discogram/CT Scan.
