Hello @dcain01 - It has been a few days since you posted. How is your leg weakness? Have you found any new information?

Is it possible to ask your current provider for a referral to another doctor or department that may have more input or perhaps some different ideas on what potential tests could rule out another cause?

Thanks for your input. I did see an orthopedist who confirmed the spinal stenosis. I do not opt for any surgeries & most say they don’t work well anyway, so am trying exercises to help, also wear a back brace when the pain is bad. Recently have been experiencing migraines, mostly in the left eye with aura. Usually Excedrine Migraine helps, but they are quite debilitating for a couple hours. Also dizziness when looking up and light sensitivity. All this has taken place in the last 6 months seems like a new symptom every month.
Am 81, CHF, HTN, Mitral regurgitation, CAD, & on several meds so it could be reactions to them. Not sure which doctor to see for the new symptoms of migraines & extreme fatigue and weakness from the spinal stenosis. Thoughts and suggestions welcome 🙂
