@reddingjim I had spine surgery on 12/30/25 for severe spinal stenosis at mainly the L3&4 area, caused by osteoporotic compression fractures, which I’ve actually had 4 total. Side note, I am now on Tymlos, an anabolic that builds bone. The surgeon did a laminotomy and foraminotomy in the area, wanting to take less bone than the traditional laminectomy would have, which I was all for! My main symptom before the surgery was severe leg nerve pain, sometimes the whole sides and backs of both legs, keeping me from being able to take a walk, stand for long, shop, and just generally making me miserable. I tried PT for months, 2 epidural injections, with little success. I can report that now, after a week and a half post surgery, especially since the swelling has gone down, I am only taking occasional Tylenol and I feel like I will have a new lease on life. My leg pain is literally gone. I am hopeful for the first time in 18 months, so please don’t despair. Maybe your situation can turn out well, too. I give all the credit to my Lord Jesus Christ guiding a great doctor’s hands.
