I went to see the doctor back in June 2022, because i was having sciatic nerve pain running down my right side, also which i had been seeing a Chiropractor for over a year. They needed to give me shots to locate what disk was causing the problem, even after i told them that my L5 disk was taken out and it was supposed to fuse. So for the next 6 months they tested, gave shots, Xray, MRI, CTscan, and finally in Dec 2022 i went under the knife. Here are a couple of pics of the end result. I no longer have pain running down my leg, but some stiffness at the operation site, which is to be expected after 1 month. I have titanium cage around the L3,L4,L5 area with screws holding it in place. It took 5 hours(doc predicted 3) to complete the operation.
