Spinal stenosis. Any recommendations?

Who in this great group has both cervical and lumbar steoses/

@loonylady yes it is. Good luck to you. Trust in HIM as I am doing.

I have spinal stenoses in all three areas of the spine. I am toying with the idea of a spine stimulator, but don't know enough yet to say yes or no to it. If anyone on here has a Boston Scientific stimulator, would you please let me know how you have fared with it? I am very interested in this and need imput from others who have it.

Sorry. My is cervical stenosis which is different from yours. Best of luck.

Have you done a 🔍 above with spine stimulator or Boston spine stimulator? See if that helps

@gravity3 - I think you will find there are a lot of discussions in the Mayo Clinic Connect Spine Health support group specifically about spinal cord stimulators.

Some options: 1) you might go to the home page for the Spine Health group and do a search in the search box at the top of left the page https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/spine-health/. 2) You might just start with a general discussion on spinal cord stimulators:

I do. Thoracic, as well. Every patient and spine is different. Feel free to reach out to me privately. I’m a retired PT. Have had cervical decompression surgery and hoping to avoid thoracolumbar surgery!

Hi, gioanna, I am glad to know there are others out there with more than just one part of the spine affected by stenosis. I have not found a good neurosurgeon who really wants to help me, so I am looking for others in town. I don't think I am far enough along in this to think about surgery, but I could be wrong. I just know I am tired of feeling so bad all the time!
