Spinal Stenosis Back Surgery | Arthritis Information

 

hello, everybody

first time user of this message board. I have diagnosis of Spinal Stenosis, which is getting worse and affecting two regions of my lower spine. alternatives to surgery ? anyone out there had this surgery ? i did the pain management thing and physical therapy but it does not solve the issues.  any comments are welcome. You might want to post this on the RA board.  It is much more active than this one and I think you would get many more responses. Spinal stenosis occurs mostly in people older than 50. Younger people with a spine injury or a narrow spinal canal are also at risk. Diseases such as arthritis and scoliosis can cause spinal stenosis, too. Symptoms might appear gradually or not at all. They include pain in your neck or back, numbness, weakness or pain in your arms or legs, and foot problems. Treatments include medications, physical therapy, braces and surgery.
