Hello, @gently and @mermaid7272,
That sounds exactly like stenosis to me. My lumbar surgery was in 2022 to correct stenosis, spondelosesthesis, arthritis, and bone spurs, and was completely successful. Long and complicated procedure but it was at a teaching hospital/university with a superb staff.
To all who are suffering and seeking answers, don't lose hope! Keep becoming informed and getting second opinions.

Barb may I ask the name of the teaching hospital? I have gone back and forth for quite some time about my back and the consensus is always that ship has unfortunately sailed due to my having MAC/aspergillosis and low BMI. They all want to operate but don’t dare and say - “If you were my mom or family member…” I’d like to know if there is an option in spite of these other health concerns. Thanks . Irene5
