Default Introduction

Backpain started really bothering me in late 2008 and decided needed to get it checked out. Had chiropractor care, SI and Facet injections, physical therapy, acupuncture and lastly fibrin sealant injections.

Before all this started was an avid cyclist and belonged to two gyms and was very active.

CT scan showed:

L5/S1 - DD and a grade 5 posterolateral annular tear on the left, reflecting a posterolateral/lateral disc herniation.

L4/5 - Posterior grade 2-3 annulat tear and mild broad based disc bulge.

The discogram was positive for the L5/S1 but not for the L4/5.

Currently, considering a hybrid (Stalif L5/S1 and Prodisc L4/5) and am having a new MRI and DEXA next week. Then just need to make the decision.
