@billandri Bill I'd like to direct you to a conversation taking place. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/spinal-stenosis-lumbar/?pg=4#comment-259270
Although the original post was addressing lumbar stenosis, I feel you will get a lot of good info reading the various responses.By tagging @jenniferhunter @lioness I hope for them to join in and add their experiences. My husband had 2 C Spine surgeries last year. He had herniated discs as well as stenosis.His spine is now fused from C3 - C7. Numbness due to nerve damage is still something he fights. The index finger is totally numb and twitches. Epidural did not work alone, he is now looking at RFA radio frequency ablation done at C5 level.
How long have you been experiencing problems?

@billandri Thank you Sandytoes for inviting me to this discussion I'm afraid I can't say to much about stenosis .I have an L2fracture in 2005 ,since then fusion of K5S1 by itself also bulging disc The Dr just recently did a MRI as I was concerned about stenosis but the MRI showed my problem was the bulging disc. I have gone to a chiropractor all my life for a birth defect even after my fracture I went after it was healed .I was informed by my chiropractor that it would help with stenosis as a man here ask me about it. I wish you the best

I have cervical stenosis in C-5/C-6. I've tried numerous steroid, epidural, facet injections with no results. Finally did Rhizotomy that actually made symptoms worse.
I'm having a EMG/NCS/NCV next week. If is shows nerve compression I don't know what to do.
Unfortunately I have spondylitis throughout entire spine with multiple hemangiomas that showed up less than a years time.
