Does anyone reading this have Degenerative Disc Disease? If so, how are you coping? Also, what did you find to be the best treatment/surgery? The doc says no to any surgery b/c he says I am too young (27). Instead of wasting time and money going to doctor after doctor just to hear the same crap, is there a surgery that can be done that you know of or have had? I have heard of Infuse Bone Grafting, but how bad does it have to be to have this done? My doctors are not really helping, I just get epidural injections and those are like 4 grand a pop and only get me to the next stop.I have only lost my L5 and L4 so far. I am not looking for medical treatment online so if all you are going to say is talk to your doctor dont answer, I am looking for guidance in the right direction from someone who knows what they are talking about. Are there hospitals in the US that are better, such as the Mayo Clinic or does anyone have any other suggestions? My docs dont suggest anything that works, or refer me to docs that help. Thank you for serious answers!!!
