Kathy,
I am so sorry for your denial. I know this may not make you feel any better but I've had two friends who have fused the L5-S1 discs and they did extremely well. I hope that you can find a trial to be in and I don't understand the litigation thing because it was from your accident. I wonder if they have a compassionate side and you can still get the disc. I do believe in fate and sometimes things happen for a reason. Maybe you will get a better disc or surgery? I hope you can be out of pain soon.
Phylly
