I have spinal stenosis and went to Mayo Clinic. Doctor there recommended having surgery even though I have a pacemaker, allergies to lots of medications and Pain meds, left illiac stent, hashimoto, hemochromatosis, and AFIB. I asked what the alternatives to surgery were at which time he left the room. His staff has been very unhelpful and do not correspond and I have never heard back from him or them. The other folks at Mayo are wonderful and have listened. I have ended up having injections - still in pain but am trying to live with it.

@lindalou2468 - for the issue you mentioned with a Mayo Clinic doctor, you may wish to contact this office to discuss:

Mayo Clinic Office of Patient Experience
Phone: 844-544-0036 (toll free)
Email: opx@mayo.edu
https://www.mayoclinic.org/about-mayo-clinic/patient-experience
Staff are available to discuss comments or concerns regarding your medical care or privacy at Mayo Clinic.

I had to report something once myself, and this office responded to my email and seemed as if they were on it.

Lower back pressure, can't stand for long periods of time or walk long walks

@rcortez52 That certainly sounds like a difficult situation but in the positive side, it’s great you can still walk some. Maybe do several short walks instead of one long one. You might also ask about physical therapy although you may have already done that. Just keep looking for ways to help with your pain. I wish you well.
