Good morning,
Thank you for your response.
Yes, I saw an orthopedic surgeon as well as a neurosurgeon. I would consider a third opinion, but in Boston since I live in Maine. I am also considering the Vertiflex procedure if you’ve ever heard of that?
I have not heard of the
Gokhale Primal Posture method but will check it out.

Kerry - There are so many different procedures and treatments for spine issues, I don't see how anyone can keep current on them all. I'm no doctor, merely an "experienced" spinal surgery patient.

In my case I got two opinions. Both recommended surgery but the neurosurgeon gave a much more comprehensive diagnosis and surgical suggestion.

Looks like a trip to Boston might be in your future? You're fortunate to not have any/many current side effects of the stenosis.
