Keano16,

I'm sorry to read more of these details. I'm not sure I understand why 2 decompression surgeries then ongoing low back pain would make you a 'no hoper' with no surgical alternatives. If the disc(s) are causing disabling pain (as mine were after my 2 decompression surgeries), then the options of ADR or even fusion will stand a good chance of resolving the pain. You may have permanent issues following your surgeries, but hopefully, you'll discover the discs themselves are painful.

Have you had discography?

All the best,

Mark
