Oh dear, I'm sorry for abbreviating....I will try to do better next time.
Dale couldn't have explained it better.
At the top of this webpage site, Mark has provided some pics of artificial discs.
Hopefully, you will not need more surgery. However, artificial disc replacement may be a viable option if you need it down the road. Then again, who knows - they may be regrowing this in tissue cultures on a regular basis replacing the need for disc replacement or fusion. One can only hope.
Take care and I hope you are able to obtain some insights from your healthcare providers soon in regards to therapy.
TTYL,
Poncho
