I'm 24. I had 2 prolapse disc + Degenerative disc disease, similar to your spondylosis, but it's at the lower back and disc is affected

Prolapse discs at L4/L5 and L5/S1 levels

-underwent 1st spine surgery: discectomy aug 07
-underwent 2nd Spine surgery + implant of spinal cord stimulator : may 08
-underwent numerous spine injections + neuroplasty to repair damaged nerve roots

now happy working as IT support. unable to walk without walking aids. legs are powered by implanted spinal cord stimulator which gives out short electric pulses (think iron man)

got the injury from NS as NSF. downgraded to C9L2. subsequently to E9L9 after finalizing my percentage disability of almost 30%

cheer up bro, you're lucky enough with your condition
