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.
 
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.

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.
 
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.
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.

Just seeing this jabber, good news.
 
My back has been bad for years. L4 L5 look like a Z. This last year has been almost no sleep for me. Maybe at best 5 hours a night. Some nights I'd end up sleeping in my chair.
Anyway got really tired of it seeing a chiropractor and he suggested red light laser. I'll have my 4th visit tomorrow. But I also bought a belt he developed for lower and sciatic back pain.
It's all working. I'm sleeping fully of night and getting up with little to no pain.

Now if I could get the left shoulder rotator cuff to heal I'd be good to go.
