Spinal Stenosis

Good luck! As others have stated, stick with the PT and be patient with your body as it heals.
I'm sure you'll be back in good shape before too long.

I am at home. Dr said it was successful. No pain in legs but my back wheee he made the cut hurts like hell. But I got meds for that.

Now UT needs to do better

Thanks for all the thoughts and comments

Good luck. Been dealing with back pain 19 years now. Dr doesn't want to do surgery due to my age. Hopefully you get some relief back pain is the worst.

Hope you're feeling better @jabber
I gave up on the PT and injections and went with surgery Sep 30th. Things are much better, not perfect but still much better. 15 months of not being able to lay down in a bed made me a grumpy ol' cuss, still a grump but the back isn't the primary reason now.

I got my full release last week. It was the best thing I have ever done. No pain in the legs and the back is almost pain free, just have a little every once in a while, but I really believe that is the muscles not being used to working and just being sore.

It's good to hear you have relief.

My knee doc recently told me that what seems to be knee issues may be stenosis/sciatica.
I am scheduling a back pain evaluation.

That's great to hear, i'm happy things are going well. I've been having some back issues the last couple of months, hoping physical therapy will help with it.
