[annapurna]

Thought I'd chime in here ANS. If you're feeling discouraged, surf over to facet solutions website. They've got a news article out about total segmental replacement (disc and facets). A combo disc-facet replacement is very serious surgery, but, if you're struggling with bony stenosis AND a painful, degenerated disc, then it's worth researching. Your condition is beginning to sound like what those devices were intended for.
