I'm on my second herniated disc and after how bad the first one was a fusion is very realistic outcome now. Going to try the shoots but the doctor doesn't seem to sold it will work. Working on getting a 2nd opinion in the mean time too. Thanks in advance.

Cannot speak on a lower back fusion from personal experience. I had a cervical decompression (removal of calcified growth impinging on nerves at the radiating point of the spinal cord/column).

Know others who have had fusions. I believe it depends on the complexity and severity. But the ones closest to me have had good results.

Will keep you in my prayers!

Peace of the Lord be with you.
