hey Welcome Christina. Brief bit of advice I can give is if you can afford it, go to germany to a well known doctor if you consider surgery. But get opinions here too from places like texas back institute, or los angeles one. Idk long term, but dynamic stabilizations with paradigm seem to be the future for your condition. But again, get opinions from doctors you trust and see if that can help or fusion is really best option.
