Thanks for that explanation Justin, it makes it much more clear. So, there is actually a disc there, but a non-functioning disc? I'll have to take a closer look at all my images, and see if I can spot that.

So, that was one of the things I was wondering. If this abnormal anatomy is in part the cause of my problems, would fusing that segment make sense? Of course, maybe it isn't the cause, and maybe it doesn't cause more movement, like I am envisioning. But, I thought it was worth discussion.
