Will I ever recover from my operation for spinal stenosis?

There are days that I feel like you. Then there are days I feel like my old self. I'm glad I had the operation. It's not perfect. The doctor didn't promise perfection.

I've gone from 16 pills a day to 4 or 5 a day.

I'm trying lazar treatments right now. It seems to be helping. I don't expect it to work on my back like it did on my knees. I had my first treatment on my knees a month ago and barely a twitch. I've had two on my back--the second today. Fingers crossed.

I’m in the same boat as you. I’m in more pain than I was prior to my surgeries. I’m on the cortisone shot routine even after my pain stimulator that was implanted a year and a half ago. My pain specialist even recommended I get a medical marijuana card. I think they just want me to get stoned so I don’t complain about it anymore. Worthless.
