Sorry about the recurrant herniation... 1-2mm herniation is pretty small. I went through the same thing after my first discectomy... radiologist said recurrant herniation... my doc said normal post-op MRI. The surgeon turned out to be correct... radiologist wrong.

Why don't you think ADR will last? What are the options and how long are they guaranteed to last? (I'm not suggesting ADR... spine surgery should be avoided if possible.) What does the rest of your spine look like?

All the best,

Mark
