Update Nov 2, 2025. I believe that the laminectomy results are still good. Much of the original foot pain is improved. I am getting pain in my left big toe. This was one area of pain from before the surgery. That is still considerably less than pre surgery when both feet hurt up through my ankles. I don't have a 6 month follow up scheduled but I do plan on making an appointment to discuss this issue. It's aggravating but not debilitating. I can walk up to one mile and stand for 30 minutes which are both much better than before surgery. I am exploring stem cell treatment. I fully realize that it is at best experimental. If I can fully understand the risks and don't think it will harm me I'll try it.
