The only thing i was just thinking about (lots of time to think, my last surgery was only 3 weeks ago) is if your spine is unstable or made unstable by the surgery then either a fusion or artificial disk replacement must be done to truly stop the pain.
Do to my poor bone density , i have never been a candidate for an artificial disc but certainly lots of people on this forum have had them.
