I found out on Tuesday. This is the one that they hoped would wait for a while, but it came faster than expected. I am waiting to get my MRI, then I will review with my doctor. He has two options for me. The first is to have the same procedure, which has a 1-2 month recovery time and all they do is remove the rest of the disc. Second option is to remove all of the disc and fuse both of the missing discs with a silicone replacement. However, they do not looking that for somebody at my age, because more than likely I will have to have it redone in 10-15 years. It also is a more riskier surgery. My body could reject the silicone replacements and I could have to undergo several surgeries. The recovery time is also anywhere from 2-4 months depending on how my body handles it.
