"Domino effect"

I had Charite ADR in 2004 @ L5/S1. A few months later my facets started to go. First one side than the other. Than things started at L4/L5. The same facet problems as L5/S1 and also bulge. The longer time went on, the more "destruction" to the facets at L5/S1 and at L4/L5 it became bilateral. If that doesn't show a domino effect, I don't know what does. Things were just going to get worse if the Charite didnt come out. And so it did.. and now I don't have the pain I did pre-revision.
