I got ya beat. I have S1 L5 L4 L3 all fused. One thing docs dont tell you is that intervertebral bulge will almost always end up with fusion vs a simple discectomy. Also once one level of your spine is operated on, it is like a ladder. The problems can and almost always do go up or down with more surgeries inevitable.
...Echo that. This is my L4,L5,S1. Look at the juncture of L4 and L3. The problem just goes up higher.

Nice spacing!!! Plenty of room in there! No so with mine. That could be my X-ray - I have the same amount of hardware in the same area.
I have lower back troubles, and surgery has been put on the table a couple of times. I'll see a chiropractor and keep exercising until I can stand the pain no more. I hear many more horror stories about back surgery than I do successful ones. No reason to make it worse when i am doing okay without going under the knife.

OK, and I may get breast implants one day, but only because they look like fun.
