Does anyone have personal experience with artificial disc replacement in L5/S1. Specifically the ActivL artificail disc.
I have recently seen 2 back Drs for a torn disc at L5/S1. The first Dr. is kind of old school and only does Spinal Fusions, but doesnt really want to do one on me because of age and (30). I went to a second Dr. today and he recommends a disc replacement and said I would have greater benefit in that then a fusion. I am nervous as shit about having any type of back surgery and was looking for personal experience any of y'all may of had with it. Currently I have done PT for over 6 months, Chiropractor, and Injections and nothing is making it better. |
