What levels did you have done and what nerve damage do you have? How did you know officially you had nerve damage and which nerves were affected? Were they able to test and confirm nerve damage and is it permanent or can the nerves recover?

I have lumbar foraminal stenosis not in the neck. So the nerves coming out of the foramen are being pinched, worse on the left side. The test confirmed nerve damage in the S 5 area I think. So tired right now due to pain keeping me awake.
I want to find out from others on here if anyone had lumbar foraminotomy without fusion.
Thanks for your help !

I am curious also cause I have a nerve being compressed because of the foraminal stenosis. I am hoping or wondering if I got the foramenotomy my nerve wouldn't be compressed anymore and that would take the pain away and I could walk more. Is that correct?
