@llanfi Since 2021 I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis (narrowing of the nerve canal), spondylosis (age related spinal disc problems plus osteoporosis), scoliosis (curvature of the spine), radiculopathy (nerve root compression) and listhesis (slipping or displacement of one bone (disc) on another) all from L-2 to L-5. I also fell in early 2025 causing a compression fracture of L-3 which has since healed but complicated matters. This was all verified by many MRIs, X-rays and other diagnostics over a period of several years. In order to have any hopes of accurately knowing what my specialists and surgeons were telling me about my specific condition I had to learn what those medical terms meant in English so I could truly understand and relate to my problems. I certainly am not sufficiently versed to qualify using the Latin, but I believe I do know somewhat about this in English. With that said-I was convinced ((as I could be about any procedure this invasive) that only surgery, with its physical widening of the narrowing, supporting of the discs and otherwise strengthening what was weak was my only option. I had the initial surgery 8/2024 to modify L-4 and L-5 and when that healed another surgery 4/26 to complete whatever could be helped from L-2 to L5. That's a very simple recap of a very complicated issue-hope it helps. I do understand your reticence for the results determine the quality of your wellbeing.
