I also had the ct scan afterward. I felt pain a lot worse than my normal pain, the same thing but so much worse, i cried it hurt so bad for a short time though. It was the correct disc though, because after it was gone a few months so was my pain in that area.

Jeff, welcome to the forum! Sorry you find yourself in this situation. Regan is one of the developers of VATS and probably has more experience with it than anyone.
Has anyone discussed XLIF with you? T5-6 is getting pretty high for that, but I'd at least discuss it. I know a handful of people with VATS... some good... some not so good. t-spine problems are tough. Good luck! Mark
