Do the therapy. I had a mechanic buddy that had the surgery, but didn't follow through with the therapy and was right back where he started from in about two years.
It's a good thing I'm not your doctor. I don't know what I'm seeing in that MRI.

Her pointer is pointing at the disc that is not like the others, it's protruding way outside the norm. I am really good at sticking with the PT... I also have have neck problems and home therapy since 1992 has kept me from having surgery
Don't wait too long but always get a second opinion. My spine doctor is the best in the country and a second opinion is really cheap when you figure what the future surgeries cost.
All of’em are. “The best” lol. Just ask’ them. You’re all in my prayers.
I have run across very few folks that have had successful fusion surgeries. Most of them come back to haunt you in some form or way, eventually. For me , 1 of 3 has worked somewhat. None of them gave enough improvement to warrant the pain I experience daily. Of course, I have had some extensive damage and ruptures that is a good bit of the problem as well. Several fractures and bone damage along with soft tissue damages contribute to my spinal problems as well.
I know, I said I was out🙈🙉🙊 but I feel for you Brother. Had a big name Ortho/Neuro doctor that treat’s the Atl Braves tell me that “If any Doctor gives you more than a 50/50 chance of getting back to basic function after 2 failed fusions , they’re lying” . I figured that was the speech for poors like me , by their standards , after trying all the snake oil epidurals , a half dozen other injections, three years of PT & Chiropractors , 2 spinal stimulators , and meds meds meds that I’ve taken several breaks from (2-1yr and a few for 3-6 months = breaks I decided to take) . Finally found a natural herb that worked better on my back and legs and blood pressure ,but had to give my Low THC card back after threats of taking away 2A . Just example and experience , no pity party. Imagine that.. low (5%) THC is worse than Pharma heroine (Opiates/Opioids) LOL . If It hadn’t been for The Lord I wouldn’t be here.
