Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
hi, i value your concern, and empathize with the fact that you still have pain, despite fusion surgery, but let us face it, fusion at one level does not do anything to prevent other disc from herniating. Now what prevents, its strong muscles and good life style.
Second despite fusion nerve can show compression due to degeneration changes, which will need repeat surgery,
consult a good spine surgeon.
