@gaylemp oh wow you described the other surgery I was told I need on my Cervical, after a whole-spine MRI. I believe it is C4-5. Was yours done from the front part of your neck?

My prior MRIs show problems with my Lumbar. I am getting a TLIF surgery for my L3 - L5 this coming Tuesday. I have constant dull soreness on my lower back. Things have gotten worse since two years ago, and again just since this past Feb (which I am really still convinced it was because of that lumbar belt!)
