ortho gave me results , said more PT will fix me.

Ok ya”ll I’ve had 2 cervical fusions already and now my low back has been acting up. I’ve been in pain since last summer and no matter the PT, muscle relaxers, chiro, massage, inversion , lyrica and medical THC I can’t feel better. I’m also a massage therapist so lots of movement all day, I swim and workout but have become intolerant to certain lifts. My ortho just told me to go back to PT and I shouldn’t be in pain. I think he’s full of it and I feel dismissed. Anywho, I just had my MRI, and here is what it says. I’m thinking of meeting with a different doctor or two but maybe more PT will fix it? PT never helped my neck one bit. Below are the results. Kinda curious to see what y’all think who’ve been dealing with this.
