I am scheduled for lamanectomy and fusion.
Have read too many terrible post op nightmares !!
Decided to postpone surgery and investigating MILD! This stands for minimally invasive lumbar decompression. The orthopod that recommended this told me it’s maybe 50% effective but a quick and easy half step that is worth a try and Medicare covers it. I will likely try this. Check the web for MILD, pain management usually offers this. I don’t have high hopes but I see great upside and minimal downside.
Good luck and keep active doing anything that doesn’t aggravate or hurt.
