a CT scan will give you a much better picture compared to the xray about what might be happening around that disc. It does seem unlikely that it subsided after two years. You bone density must not have been so low, or TBI would not have implanted the devices. But if the cause for your low bone density was not discovered and/or treated, perhaps there might be a hairline fracture on the S joints that were not apparent on the x ray? have you had a recent bone density test?
