A lot to think about for sure.
I have seen Dr. Bertagnoli and he recommended fusion with the STALIF at L5/S1 with optional prodisc at L4/5. He based this on 2009 and 2010 images and ordered a new MRI which I had. Still waiting to see if his recommendation is still the same after the new MRI.
Have filled out the forms for the consultation for SED but the $250 it cost for them to review your files for 1-10 minutes gives me pause and haven't sent them.
