Leesa is correct all I had was the discectomy and laminectomy, however he did advise I Do have pretty badDDD he has seen in someone my age and that I will need to have a replacement or fusion sometime down the road, however at my age he doesn't want to go to that point if at all avoidable, which I greatly appreciate. Still baffles me how my back is so bad, I've been pretty athletic all my life, never over weight and never had any kind of traumatic injuries to my back
