Why is fusion poor for back pain/good radiculopathy?

I had a positive discogram for L5-S1 years ago. I'm considering a multi-level fusion but do not understand why fusion sucks for back pain. Naturally I know nothing about the surgery but does this have to do with torn annulus' that are pain generators?

Thank you in advance.
