@salamanca Was the surgery you had to correct the slipping of L4 over L5 or is that still an active functional problem? I think yo may be right about multiple sources for pain. Are you considering physical therapy and possible MFR work?

The last surgery was decompression L4, in 2019. It took 6-8 months of considerable pain to finally and with as much exercise as possible, to be able to walk and generally move with relative freedom. Pain level after 1 year down to 3/10.
Now 4.5 years on, early A.M. pain is 6/10, easing after 40 min. gym bike and stretching. The pain is from bed time especially, also from bending constantly gardening or standing a prolonged period.
I do not think I have an active functional problem and have tried physiotherapy many times to no avail.
Would stem cell therapy be the answer, if so where in the world, please.
