He still refers to it as spinal stenosis, which yes was also a factor but, CES is why I have permanent nerve damage, weak L. Leg. Drop foot, retaining bladder. Hey no saddle feels. ( joking. Not a bonus) @ 61 y/o. Also have, A Lawyer, A new doc. Partridge in a pear notwithstanding. 🤭 glad I found you.
