Has anyone had a Foraminotomy ?

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?

If your surgeon believes that your nerve is being compressed and the source of your pain, and it is compressed due to foramina stenosis due to bone overgrowth, a foraminitomy may help give your nerve root/nerve more space and a chance to heal. Nerve healing takes time but it can’t heal if compressed.
