UPDATE:
The surgeon stated in no uncertain terms that fusion is not an option at this junction and shaving the disks will create more scar tissue (it is actually the scar tissue causing issues right now).
He changed the muscle relaxant and increased dosage. Added PT to the plan of attack and hubby will be getting an injection in his SI joint to numb those nerves until body has a chance to heal (bruising related to recent fall).
