@yusef - Hi Yusef! 71-yo female here. Just saw my spine doc today to review results of Sunday's MRI. I have severe spinal stenosis at L3-4-5 with left side sciatica down into my leg and calf and in both hamstrings. Sounds like you have the same shock-type pain when walking. I especially feel it when I first stand up after sitting awhile. I like your protocol for the things you do to "fight back" again this. I also joined Planet Fitness with a Black Card membership so I can take advantage of the red light therapy, massage chair, and the awesome hydro massage! I'm waiting for a rollator/transport chair so my husband can take me there. I'm just at the beginning of what appears to be a long journey of trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. Spine doc wants me to have a surgery consult, but also wants to try an epidural to see if it helps at all and for how long. How much ACV do you take each day? I take the other vitamins as I've battled idiopathic peripheral neorupathy in my feet for nearly 15 years. I'm on Lyrica for that and just got a RX for low dose Naltrexone which I pick up when CVS opens. I'm hopeful it will provide some relief on both fronts. Above all, I'm praying because I believe God hears and answers, and even if His answer isn't what I want to hear, I know He's with me through this. Anyway, thanks much for your post and best wishes to you!
