Default TLIF L5 S1, Now a shift and bulge in L3 l4.

I had a TLIF Fusion in Jan 2012 and was doing ok until about April 2012 and started have pain above my surgery site and severe pain with the slighest bend to the side. An MRI found that the L3 L4 disc was bulging slightly and the L3 had moved 4mm since my previous MRI. My doctor is going to try steriod injections but said there is an 80% chance I will need another fusion at L3L4 and I am NOT ready for another fusion. He said I was only the second patient he had that experienced a problem 2 levels above the fusion. Has anyone one else had this experience???
