Wow and triple wow
Justin,
Somehow I missed your continuing thread. Am so sorry to hear of the pain and the possible upcoming surgery.
Read all the links supplied in the thread and even though Dr. B's and Dr. F-M's solution is fairly new, it sounds like an excellent (and maybe the only) way to go. Surgery or pain. 
Just returned a message to Dr. F-M and added "may God bless all at Pro-Spine during surgery of "Justin" and "Mark" assuming she will know who I mean! at least God will know!! I am positive that you are both in great hands and amazed at the great work these doctors do.
Thoughts and prayers are with you in the next days and weeks. Sandy Wade
