Spinal stenosis. Any recommendations?

Hi loonylady, I am a 80 year old male and was diagnosed with severe degenerative disc disease from C3 to C7 with stenosis in April. I have severe pain in my shoulder, down my arm with numb fingers. I have had several x-rays, MRI, CT scan and waiting on a EMG. My pain doctor nor my spinal surgeon will not give me a treatment plan until the EMG. I have been on several medications including an epidural, which did not help. My PC step in and put me on 150mg of Pregabalin 2 times a day and 5mg of Baclofen 3 times a day and I have my life back. Not sure if this information helps. Hopefully all goes well as you go forward.

@wrzakers Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. It sounds like you have plenty to deal with yourself. I appreciate the information you provided. Hopefully all these posts will help not only me but also help others dealing with spinal stenosis.

@wrzakers
One for nerve pain and the other a mild muscle relaxer. So happy you’ve found the right combination for your particular pain situation. Good to hear ! Thanks
