I have very bad spinal stenosis pinched nerves etc. I had the MILD procedure recently which is the minimally invasive lumbar decompression. Anyway I was wondering if anyone else has had typhus and how long they were in post op pain?

I had the mild procedure done on L3-L4-L4-L5. The pain I had down both buttocks, both thighs, both calves to ankles is gone. Getting PT done still on walker, but the other day I used my cane to go maybe 25 ft with PT man holding lightly my left arm, and did great. He wants to do electric stim on my left legs, which are the weakest, but I have to call Medronic to find out if he can with my pacemaker. The MILD Procedure is done for people who have stenosis, which won't help anything else. So far, so good!

Thank you for the post. How long did it take for the pain to go away? Did you feel better right away or did it take time? I'm caregiving a family member who had it about 2-3 weeks ago and is a bit discouraged that the pain has not subsided. She had it done on L-4-L5 I believe.

My husband had the MILD procedure done in March 2025 and he had instant relief and still no pain in his buttock and down his leg. Of course he still has back pain but getting this procedure has helped him a lot. We are praying it continues to help forever 🙏🏼

Thinking of it if it helps
Very indecisive

Has helped my husband since March 2025. 🤞🏼

I had the mild procedure done in September 2025
It did help tremendously with the neurogenic claudication (Leg and calf pain. I did have some pain in the beginning and was concerned. Occasionally, I may get some on and off pains in leg. However, it is well worth doing
