Acupuncture hrlps pain relief, but you should ask the acupuncturist what they think specifically about that. The thing that helped me the most was RFA. I had severe pain radiculopathy around the front of my legs and it took it away entirely. Myofascial pain release therapy is something else you should experiment with. I take Percocet for pain relief that can’t be fixed in my tailbone for 30 years low-dose and it never interacts with anything. I didn’t know if you had other medication’s, which might interfere or you just don’t do well on opioids starting with very low dose. Medication might be helpful if it’s an intolerance thing, there are 1200 pain relievers a doctor said to me once we will try them all. Fortunately, that was before the time of public abuse. I only had to try four. Good luck.

i too have severe stenosis. active release therapy , done by a chiropractor, has saved me. it’s reduced nerve pain substantially and got me back walking without pain. not sure how far cuz i’m only three sessions in. but boy has it been a lifesaver as i was wracked with pain for over a month.
