but Jennifer, how would the bones ever fuse if the disc remained in between the vertebra.

I don’t think it did fuse. I think the motion occurred because the screws were migrating for the last 7 years. You can see the halo around the L3 screws in the Xray. The herniation at L3-4 (according to the MRI last week) must be whatever tissue was left? I don’t understand it either but the nerve pain is following L3-4. Thanks so much for your input. I appreciate it. Patty
