Has anyone had a Foraminotomy ?
Spine Health | Last Active: Dec 26, 2024 | Replies (12)Comment receiving replies
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 would also love to know about foraminotomy without fusion for cervical spine. I already have decompression and fusion of c5-c6 but show severe foraminal stenosis at that same level now and not sure if that procedure can be done with hardware already installed. I also have a disc extrusion at c6-c7 and not sure how both could be handled. I hope you get some responses to your post.
