re your reasons
			 
			 
			
		
		
		Cathy, 
You are also at that age where in perimenopause your bone density *might* start to change..  I had only osteopenia back in '06 with a t score of -2.2 lumbar spine and I was a surgical candidate for ADR at L4 and fusion at L5S1but now I have osteoporosis with last t score of -2.6.   
 
Here in the states I don't think there is a surgeon that would want to take my lumbar spine on with osteoporosis altho perhaps abroad where vertebroplasty is utilized (Dr.B).  
 
So I guess I think your reasons are quite valid altho of course it only matters to you when you feel ready to have surgery! 
 
Wishing you the best with your endeavor!
