Hey everyone! I just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. This is a wonderful site for someone like me who's got a decision to make.

In '97 I hurt my back at work and after 3 years of hearing that it's "just muscle problems", an MRI showed a lg. herniation at L4/L5. Had a laminectomy in 2002 which worked great up until late last year. Just a gradual progression I believe. A new x-ray and MRI shows DDD, severe endplate osteitis (?), and spondylosis. In my first visit to a NS, I was given the option of do nothing, fusion, or ADR.
So here I am trying to soak up as much info as I can so that I can make a good decision!
