I was in an accident that caused 4 of my lower discs (L3,L4, L5 and S1) to deteriate. I am 26 years old, and my surgeon says that only fusion will help, but that it will do more damage to my other discs in the near future, due to the fusion putting pressure on them. My benefits are almost up, and I need to make a decision as to how to move on with my life. I have been looking for any alternative surgeries (such as replacement of discs with plastic) or what ever i can find. At this point I will try ANYTHING! i am taking oxycotins for the pain, and also muscle relaxers. I need to get off of these in order to get a job. Currently I am seeing a chiropractor, which helps handle the pain, but hasn't taken it away. If anyone has ANY suggestions (serious suggestions only please) please contact me! thank you
