What can be done for spinal stenosis?
Attention! Consult a doctor! In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. The patient can benefit from exercise and weight loss.
@the I agree, it's like when I refer to myself as an invertebrate (as my spine has more damaged disks than intact & fully functional ones by a factor of at least 2 to 1) and yes I've been told to "stop that", when it's a pretty close to reality of a joke.
I'm not harming anyone in this & it's tiresome to get others trying to micromanage my choice in terms used for my medical conditions.

I'm feeling some pain tonight. Headache, pain from the spinal stenosis in my neck radiating into my left shoulder, fibro flare starting.
I'm a mess.

My mum had an appointment with a specialist today because she’s been having pain in her legs for years that has been getting worse and worse to the point where she can really only stand or walk for about 5 minutes at a time.
She’s seen multiple specialists over the years. All have been useless. And blamed aging.
When it first started I told her it sounded like nerve damage or a pinched nerve because I get sciatica and it sounded very similar.
The specialist today looked at the MRI and instantly knew it was Spinal Stenosis (ie. the spinal cord is being pinched by a shifted vertebrae).
He also said that the MRI from 2019 showed it as well, and quite obviously. When I asked him why it wasn’t picked up back then, all he could do was shrug.
Anyway. If you don’t get the answer you’re looking for, don’t think that you have to put up with pain. You don’t. Just keep asking until someone does their job properly.
