MILD procedure L4-L5

Posted by judymehaffey @judymehaffey, Jan 19 6:28pm

I was a gymnast in my youth, competing through 4 years of college resulting in numerous injuries and surgeries. The biggest ongoing problem I encountered later in life was spinal stenosis. Ten years ago after several injections I got complete relief. Unfortunately, the pain is back with a vengeance and injections on longer work. For 2 years I have been in almost constant pain. Last week I had the MILD procedure and the second and third day post procedure were the most painful days I experienced. Now 7 days later I am still in constant pain when standing and walking. Has anyone gotten relief in a short period of time after the MILD procedure?

@jlssurplus Constant L4-L5 stenosis back pain when standing and walking. I get relief when sitting. I'm doing my best to hang in there.

Years ago when I first discovered the stenosis I had sciatic pain. Prior to the injections for there stenosis I had dry needling. That relieves the shooting sciatic pain but did nothing for the stenosis. I then had the injections which eventually resolved the pain for about 8 years.
