I just live with it since doctors tests etc waste of time. Find you relief..........
i am 69 and have severe spinal stenosis, scoliosis and all the others. I live with pain and it gets boring. I often thought of surgery and after mris, catscan and neuro surgeon who told me he would not suggest surgery since it would 13 hours to fix me and felt cure was not in the outcome. Said options shots, medication and have a good life. Most surgeries i hear about do no good just worse. People in nursing homes from surgery. I live with it and suffer. I wish you the best!
Hi and new to Mayo site. I am Joann and thanks for reply. I have severe stenosis, neuropathy and other issues. I've had it too long and no doctors ever had an answer. Meds, surgery-when they wanted to replace 6 of my discs about 10 years ago and no guarantee. Couldn't do that. My latest surgeon Dr said he would not suggest surgery for no results and 15 hours to repair what can't be repaired. Advise was the shots and drugs which are made in China and I stay with Pinot and med'l pot. I read a post here and person said........learn everything you can, alter what you can and accept what you can't alter. Came to site since I have no one to understand the pain the body is able to give you. Sorry for all but I am not alone. Be Well............
