My spine and vertebrae are fine but the disc probably needs to go. Burning pain on both sides from my waist down. No riding since April 2021.
Similar; just lots of trauma from contact sports and car wreck. Bottom disc looked like a tiny sliver that was sitting ontop of a nerve making my life absolutely terrible. I only had the disc trimmed; I have had a couple of friends that were weight lifters in their 20's that have had artificial disc replacement and they have nothing but good things to say about it. Hopefully that is on the menu for you...
