Yes, I agree, you need more information/opinions.
You say that the L5/S1 disc is almost gone. I would be afraid that having disc replacement may not be possible at this point, because of this. Have you talked to any surgeons that do ADR? What do they say?
Have you had injections, a discogram? What were the results of these?
