My Prodisc at L4-L5 is autofusing. A doctor at Johns Hopkins offered me injections and/or surgery (more of the same crap that hasn't helped me yet). My NY Surgeon doesn't want to keep cutting me open. My last surgery in November was awful and I don't want to go through any more surgeries. I'll have to live with the pain and hope for some miracle medical breakthrough from our miraculous medicinal massive.
Good Luck, I know how you feel!
