Thanks for the advice gang. I'll be seeking a number of opinions around this. Both the work Dr and physio were pretty shocked at the damage shown in the MRI images. I'm 'lucky' it was a workplace injury and we have very good medical officers. The only issue with the non surgical path would seem to be the length of time required to full recovery, I haven't found anything online that speaks to a successful, non surgical recovery. Most everything I've found on the web talks about this injury requiring surgery for a full recovery. To date I've been very non invasive with any issues I've faced though this injury is sounding pretty brutal and really impacts everyday life negatively:(

I'll keep searching for non surgical solutions....
