Sorry for all your agonies.
Hoping to get a hemilamenotomy. This is minimally invasive decompression.
Even at 84 assuming you in ok shApe this is an hour procedure and minimal blood loss under general anesthesia .
Good luck . For extreme stenosis

I had a hemi-laminectony at L5S1
In 1985 - left all my classic leg and foot nerve root pain on the table. Awesome Procedure.

I'm just curious, is this being done by an orthopod, neurologist or pain dr?

A hemilaminectomy is what caused my lifetime (since I was 24) disability of CRPS, with spread, now from the hips down.

No such thjng as a simple back surgery. I'm not a big fan of SCS but also wanted to add a medical article I just found about trials, which only makes sense to me. Both produce scar tissue which is probably the cause of a lot of long term pain post op for people labeled "failed back surgery." The cure was to do it again. 4 times. Imagine my scar tissue now. Make sure you add future scar tissue into the mix before looking at sirgery. Esp if you heal keloid like I do?

Just adding that in.
