@murphyjoe, welcome. I'm tagging fellow members like @ladeedi51 @billweigle @lizann45 @mom2five @rose4jim2417 @kdks99, who have had minimally invasive ligament decompression (MILD) and can share more about their back issue prior to having MILD and their recovery results and time to recovery.
In the meantime, you may also wish to read these related discussions:

MILD, in the literature my pain doc gave me, stands for minimally invasive lumbar decompression. There is also an invasive surgery with the same name. It's a confusing situation that lead me to make a 2nd-opinion appointment with a surgeon who advertised "minimally invasive lumbar decompression" on his web page... and who subsequently spent my appointment lambasting the ligament-scraping procedure and telling me scare stories. Politics between pain docs and surgeons are tough to navigate!
