Have you discussed non-fusion surgical options? If artificial disc replacement (ADR) is an option for you, that would likely be preferable to fusion. It is nice that he wants to protect you from having a fusion at your age, but does he have anything else to offer?
What are the shock absorbers he's talking about?
I'm sorry that you find yourself in this situation. I hope you'll find helpful info here.
All the best,
Mark
