I would get a second opinion...I would also ask for a new MRI to see what is going on with your spine...Know too that many laminectomies fail....I had a laminectomy and within six weeks all of the pre-surgical pain came back...I have since had a six level fusion...If you were in the private sector and lived near me, I would send you to the best surgeon in the world...Dr. Fabien Bitan in NYC...I think you probably will need a fusion...not the end of the world..It will probably provide the pain relief you need...
