I found following the Gokhale Primal Posture Method very helpful, and now rarely experience any issues.

I am 81 male with spinal stenosis. I am trying to keep track of spinal health with annual MRI. My doctor suggested this but also concerned about my low pulse (around 41 bpm). So I got a pacemaker. Newer ones are MRI compatible. But only certain MRI machines can be used with pacemakers.

@readybee Welcome to Connect. While no one here can give you medical advice, have you consulted a Cardiologist about your slow heart rate? That may be a step to resolve the situation so you can be a candidate for needed surgery.
