Default re spine surgery opinions

Ravenous,
I would not have a spine surgery without getting several opinions unless it was an emergency situation I had no control over. So I think what you may want to do is to look into spine surgeons that are able to offer you both options of ADR and/or fusion or see several to see if you are a candidate for either type of surgery.

You may not have had enough diagnostic tests/exams to determine yet if you're a good candidate for both ADR and fusion.

If you are motivated by pain and want to make a sound decision take the time to check out who and where to go to for a few more surgical opinions. That would be my advice.
