Hi DIA and welcome to the forum,
I'm sorry your circumstances brought you hear but am glad you found us. Yours is a familiar story. I reheriated 8 years after my first surgery and 8 months later needed the third which I did not have. I started with a single level and ended up with 3. Very true about the success rates of second and so on surgeries. I'm glad your doctor is being honest with you. Many are not.
I knew a third surgery was out of the question for me and suffered until I found Mark, the founder of this forum. I then had a 3 level ADR and have my life back. Please check out his website, globalatientnetwork.com and give him a call.
You have a lot to learn but you don't have to do it alone. Ask a lot of questions until you're satisfied that you understand the answers. I wish you the best,
Dale
