I had Spinal Stenosis and finally after several years, tried the shots and several other things but nothing helped until I had surgery. When I woke up in the hospital the pain was gone and I have been pain free for about 8 years now. Best decision I ever made.
I was to the place where I had to crawl from family room to the bedroom. Always seemed worse at night, I would sleep on the floor with my feet and legs up in the chair in order to get any help at all. Surgery is a big decision because you hear all kinds of horror stories. But if I had not did it today I would not be alive.
