Degenerative Disc Disease

I've also got DDD in my lumbar spine. I had a lumbar laminectomy in 2007 to repair a herniated disc, and it has now herniated again in the same spot along with the L4-L5, and L5-S1 joints collapsing.

I am having an MRI on Thursday, and I am going to speak with a neurosurgeon at the end of the month. It has gotten me to the point of exhaustion after all these years of fighting it, and I don't want to be on pain meds for the rest of my life, so I'm going to listen to what the surgeon has to say, and make my decision from there.
