Can Ruptured Disc Only Be Cured By Spinal Fusion?

Hi I have ruptures C5/C6/7 and I have been told spinal fusion is my only option...... I also have L1-S5 herniated. My tri muscle was reattached after I got side swiped. Because I am just now 40 I want to wait as long as I can before back fusion.I have read A LOT of legitimate literature, not the drug pushing sites, that oral Anavar would strengthen everything and allow me to when myself off these damn opiates. Your advice would be well received.yours,Ridge
