Maybe: Locate and confirm you pain generator with diagnostic injections once you have that , then talk to a surgeon about reconstruction options for your condition "assuming" by appearance that something causes back ache is wrong 30% . 30% over age of 30 have asymptomatic ddd. Confirm pain generator theory with diagnostic injections consider carefully morbidities associated with any surgical plan.
