Thank you all for taking the time to respond. I am touched and it does feel good to know there are those who understand. I just had my facet joints injected today by Dr. Karli at Steadman and feeling pretty good, will see in the next week. Colorado Babe, I would love to hear more of your story too and will PM you after I get a feeling for how this injection is going. It looks like there is somewhat of a consensus about the fusion at this level. The Activ L disc sounds promising though and will research on that too. Will continue the research and post outcomes so that I may help others too!
Thanks all!
