I have spinal stenosis in two ares of my lower back. It came on quickly and I have progressively got worse. I'm will be scheduling my surgery tomorrow. Anyone have any advice? Thanks
Mine was cervical (neck). While it is a major surgery it is amazing what doctors can do in this day and age. I didn't take any pain meds in recovery. Nothing. It was GLORIOUS to wake up and be pain-free.
Do your PT. Like from now on, not just when you go see the PT folks. I thought I'd be clever and blow off my exercises a couple of weeks ago. Within 72 hours I was waking up with headaches and neck pain that rivaled any pain I'd had pre-surgery. Won't be making that mistake again.
