It's interesting how these ortho surgeons rush to do surgery even though in my case a previous MRI showed no issue with the L5-S1. It's a win-win situation for them. If the surgery helps, they are the hero. If it does not help(which seems to be quite often the case), then it gets labeled "failed back surgery syndrome". If we are older and on Medicare, the money is not there to warrant further exploration. Hope you can find some help.
