Thank you, Jennifer, for your diligence on copyright.

@cbove2, I appreciate your posting the article that you found. I have inserted the link to the article, which you had cited by title and author as per the community guidelines on Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you. Now the post also complies with the wishes or the source author.

CBowe, I love that you remain the optimist, pragmatist, who is data-driven and that you continue to research what might work for you. As Jennifer says, there isn't one procedure that works for everyone. What treatments seems to be the most promising for you?

Thank you so much for correcting my post to include source info - I will remember to do this in the future. As for me, spinal surgical procedures all have a degree of risk based on each individual. I will continue to manage both my lumbar and cervical disk issues with PT as long as possible if there is no progression in symptoms. At 75 years I have already experienced longer recoveries than 30 years ago and want to optimize my timing. In addition, there are ongoing improvements in surgical instruments and device materials/biomaterials. The next generation will probably get stem cell repairs and avoid much of this 😉
