Hi Runner
Thanks for the kind words and support.
I would be happy to have a posterior fusion if I felt there was a bigger chance of success but I am extremely doubtfull especially when my surgeon doubted whether it would help.
I also am concerned that if it doesnt work I may not be able to get the disc out at all then. Thats probably why I would rather take a bigger risk in the hope of a better outcome. I really dont want to live a life with a morphine pump. Thanks for your help and ill keep you informed how I go with the docs.

Thanks for your help
Mark
