Has anyone ever had a Lumbar Disc Replacement? I was hurt @ work. My disc is degenerated & herniated (L5 & S1)

My surigcal opitions include that of a Fusion or a Lumbar Disc Replacement. My symptoms include chronic back pain (2 out of 10), Spasms (1-2 a day), and my strength is decreased especially when lifting. Please help, I am struggling with what route to take. Thanks>

  1. I also have degenerated discs in my spine, an I am 16. My doctor said that I do not not need surgery if I continue to stretch daily and remain slim. I went through physical therapy and it really helped because it made my whole entire body more flexible, which definitely reduced spams. It depends how old you are and if the surgery would be worth it, in most cases it is. But you just have to learn to trust your doctor. Good Luck
